This climb is actually in the drainage above Silken Slot. The second pitch rarely forms, but is often very close. Beware of avalanche hazard in the gulley approaching the climb.

P1: WI4 200' Leave the gulley heading right below where the main gulley becomes cliffed out anyway, on often thin ice.
P2:WI 6 80' A dagger of ice hanging over a cave.
