150m, 3 pitches. A mellow ice line that forms on the headwall between Wenche Foss and Tøftfossen. Nothing spectacular but provides three pitches of climbing that can act as a consolation route for the approach if there are people already on Tøftfossen. The route is most interesting during early winter before it is covered in snow.

P1, WI3, 55m. Climb the wall on thin ice/mixed and follow a narrow easy gully to a belay. An alternative mixed start to the right is also possible ~M4.

P2, snow 30°, 20m. Continue up the narrow gully on snow and ice to reach a small plateau below the ice ramp and obvious pillar(s). Rock or ice belay.

P3, WI3, 60 m. A long stretched pitch that climbs the ice ramp, short pillar and ice wall to reach easy terrain and a belay at a boulder.

Descent: Walk over to Tøftfossen and follow the normal descent or rappel the line.

NB. The first ascent is noted as a "first recorded ascent," this route may have been climbed during one of the Oppdal Ice Climbing Festival weekends but is unconfirmed and may likely have been climbed earlier but is not reported in any guidebook.
