Rating: WI5
Length: 120 meters

This ice climb attacks the more prominent and more consistently developed steep overhanging ice on the right side of the Amphitheatre. A thick set of cicles drops from a rim on the canyon wall and usually touches down to the fat curtain, Curtain Call, that marks the beginning of this ice climb. Climb through a series of difficult committing cicles to the canyon rim.
