    To the right of the right-hand seep, there is a gully that you can scramble up to an easy traverse, after which you can set up top ropes on either section of ice.

    The right-hand seep. The greenery to the right is the traverse to set up a top rope.

    An old rotting cedar makes for surprisingly good practice swings.

    Running top rope laps on the right-hand section. The farthest left section of the right-hand side offers the best climbing. Its consistency and slightly off-vertical make it the ideal place to practice steeper ice technique.

    Seconding up the left-hand section. The ice is steeper here, closer to grade WI4. It's of a weirder shape, so it will provide more of a challenge.
