The first headwall |
Kill Aisha is a good route when it is fully in. It is an intimidating cluster of pillars found between the Left Gully and the Slab. This route seems to come into shape during early season, and late season. The direct southern exposure makes it rare to find this climb in shape mid season. Cold temperatures seem not to provide the snow melt required for this route to come into shape. The first headwall is 15m of steep ice, best climbed on the left. Above this things kick back, the ice thins out, and some rock gear (tri cams & pins) are required to safely make it to the trees on the left that provide the best rap base. Compound Succor, a descent mixed pillar is found about 15 feet to the right of this climb. Approach from the Information Burea in about 45min.
