Access: When driving to Homer, turn right off the Sterling Highway onto Saltwater Drive, which is approximately 2 miles towards Homer from the Baycrest Scenic View pullout.  Drive to the end of Saltwater Drive and park.  From the parking area walk approximately half the road distance back towards the Sterling Highway then turn right and hike through the alders until you come to the top of the bluff.  A large tree (an anchor may exist) can be found above the rappel route.  Depending on conditions, you may need to put crampons on at the top of the bluff.  Two 50m ropes will allow you to rappel a safe distance down.  Following the rappel you may then need to walk a bit further to the beach.  At the beach, walk south toward Homer approximately 100 meters.  Creme Puff is located to the right of Granola Cruncher.

Route: Hike a short, but steep section of snow and ice up to the base of the ice.  From the base, climb a short section of moderate ice to the wider, steep curtain that will deliver you to the top. 

Anchor: Alders exists at the top for anchor or rappel.
