After breakfast at McDonalds, we drove to Icicle Butress. Temperature is in the mid 40s but there is sunshine. I led pitch 1, 3, and 4. Yinan led pitch 2. There is some serious rope drag on pitch 4. I used 4 double slings and I wish I had more. It’s almost impossible to hear your belayer on any of the pitches except the 2nd one. Very fun and moderate route and perfect weather. We had the whole route to ourselves. We got back to the car at 2pm and had lunch/dinner at South.
