Dick Norlin and I did a route to the right of October Sundae on North Bald Cap on 9-14-2012
Pitch three was previously climbed by Jack Dorsey and Chuck Woodman as a variation to October Sundae. This creates an independent line that incorporates that beautiful flake.
Ingy’s Ice Cream 5.7
Walk 25 right of October Sundae and back left up a ramp to the start at a slab 30’ up in the woods.
Pitch 1 Up the easy slab to break out onto the main face above. Continue straight up to a gear belay below a continuing flake system. 60meters
Pitch 2 Climb the flake system straight above passing the right side of a large tree island and arching back left to a gear belay in rust colored rock. 60 meters
Pitch 3 Move left and climb a beautiful white flake forming the right side of the central groove. Layback the flake to the end and move right up a buttress and finish with a quartz dike to a gear belay and ledge. 5.7 60 meters.
Part of this pitch was previously climbed by Jack Dorsey and Chuck Woodman as a variation to October Sundae.
Pitch 4 Move left off the ledge and go up the center of the white slab above. Starting with a couple of hollow flakes then passing a bolt at the swell. The slab eases bringing you to a blocky gear belay. 5.7 55 meters
Pitch 5 Continue up to the grey blocky headwall above and belay in the woods. 60 meters
Descent. Walk climbers left 25 feet to the rappel anchors on October Sundae. 5 double rope raps brings you down to the base.
