Guided Kid Fall and found it in excellent condition. I believe we were the first ones this year. From the slung boulder on the left at the top it takes two rappels to reach the ground- We reset the mid station. The upper pillar is sporty but all there. I prefer the approach we chose to the one in the guidebook. After the swing bridge, continue up the Galatea trail, left at the signs, until the trail reaches a height of land perfect for traversing to the drainage. Here the forest is open and gladed- it will bring you to the drainage which is crossed just left of a small iceflow via a bench and landmark pine tree to broach the cliff band. Follow a ridge feature then trim line to the route. This approach gains elevation on a packed trail quickly as well as traverses in and up at a comfortable angle. Happy Ice,
