The first pitch consists of a steep ramp to an ice mushroom lying below the final pillar. A belay can be found in alders to the right for the next pitch which consists of a vertical to slightly overhanging 100 foot plus pillar. The route takes its name from a delicate tool removal by Embick on the first ascent.
