150m, 4 pitches.
Four pitches in total however if the snow is deep then the last pitch is an hour to reach.First pitch from bolt belay on the right is usually about 80 degrees of good ice 50m to bolt belay on the right. The second pitch is easier with a gentle slope which gives two metres of 90 degree ice into the cave below the hanging ice stalagtites.Bolt belay.Superb third pitch of approx 55 metres up the ice ramp stepping right and traversing right around and up to the top of a four metre 90 degree section onto an 70-80 degree section under the roof of the cliff face,squeezing through the top. Tree belay on the left. The final pitch after a walk is another fine pitch of 55-60m 80 degree ice, with delicate moves at the top through chandelier ice.Tree belay at the top. I would recommend absiel descent.
