Route Info
This route climbs up the right side of the hardened ice on the inside of The Sea of Seracs eastern cave. To get there, head up toward The Maw but go inside and turn around. Half this climb is on ice, the other half is on rock. Climb up through dihedral to reach the top. You can finish out left, or straight up and through; both are pure suffering. God be with you.
