On an ice climbing flop, we decided to go for a hike instead.   What we found is almost unlike anything i have seen in the rockies to date.   There are hand cracks, finger cracks, thin fingers and what i certainly see as almost an offwidth.  And the angle of the thing is very in your face.  Its up for debate if the climb will go ground up.  The crack is full of dirt and moss in the upper section,  but the crack is almost perfect under the roof.  Needless to say, this will be a future project for me.  I dont think it will need any bolts at all.. perhaps one or two but time will tell.    From what we could see standing under this monster, there is potential for lots of gear.  I do hope this
