Top-roped for years and first climbed as a "mostly" formed pillar by Kris Erickson ...
Named for jeff Lowe who, in 1995, long before there were ice festivals around the country, was in Bozeman on an ice demo tour. Jeff used this as one of the teaching venues and had thought it was a first ascent. Although it forms every year, it tends to be very slow in developing, and thus, gives a variety of conditions.

Only on occiasion will this route for fat and is more often a thin mixed climb with poor protextion. Almost 50 yards left opf The Thrill Is Gone is an other smear directil above some pine trees. Thin ice or rock up to 5.8 leads to thicker ice and moss then some bushes and a belay tree. There was once an old bolt near the bottom that appears to have gone away.
Descent: rappel route from tree.
