50m, 2 pitches. An icy counter diagonal to The Executioner, sharing the block capped groove of that route. Start in The Couloir 5m above the dead-end left branch at the foot of a short steep wall adored with an ice smear. Climb the icy wall and move up to the foot of the block capped groove. Climb the groove, overcome the blocks, and step left. Climb the steep ice bulge to enter the right-facing corner which is followed to the cornice which may be large.
