One of the Lake's mega-classics. It's generally done in 4 or 5 pitches, depending on the quality of the ice or the length of your ropes. The direct start usually isn't in so you head up below the Promonade and traverse left on a obvious ledge to where the ice begins. The next pitch usually ends at a cave. Continue up a couple more steep hard pitches to the trees.
