80m, 2 pitches. arguably the best route here, and the only true multipitch. The first pitch is steep and the technical crux, but short lived (10m). Tree belay/s on the left, or continue up the easy snow slope to belay on screws at the base of the second pitch. Pitch 2 gives 40m of mostly 70-80deg ice, with options for steeper variations if desired. belay and absail point in the trees on the left at the top, or walk off to the right.
