The Blades

Widowmaker

On the eastern side of The Blades are two bridges of ice. Walk across the nearest one (Iced Latte) to the wall of hanging bodies. Climb up towards the climb-bot that’s hanging about 150 feet above. You’ll notice that—with the exception of one small area—this entire route remains on rock only. Let that guide you. After paying your respects to the fallen, climb up and out. Watch out though. I thought I heard gunshots….
