Ascents of Icebird as Onsight

Great route! Wide bit is easy

What a climb! Just brilliant the whole way!

Very nice climbing, quite the deep end for Jayden's first proper crack climb.

😚 👌

Oh trad. Nothing makes my mouth dryer. Great route, ran out of hand sized cams at the top which made it spicy!

This is a fantastic crack line that I will come back to lead next time.

Off-width bit in the middle is tricky but mostly just awkward. Plenty of opportunities to catch your breath by getting yourself stuck in the crack.

Blasted up the perfect hands at the end which was really the cherry on top of a great climb.

Future notes for self: protection in the crack is good, don't need giant pieces for the off-width because the secondary crack inside will take medium cams. Double rack from 0.4-4 should be sufficient. Pro at the bottom is less good, but the climb is easy. Save a green/red for the hands at the end.

Will be coming back to this for the lead some day. The hand crack at the end is a step up from the rest of the climbing, but has perfect jams!

My first Trad lead at perp if I remember right.

Wow so good. Juggy terrain till offwidth and then it starts. Fun!

Loved it! Ripped up my skin tho, time to get some crack gloves

Unreal. Juggy up to the offwidth, then a lovely hand crack finish, absolute better.

Bit of a fight

End of day tronsight. Lovely (if a bit fragile) jug hauling to glory hands with just a hint of wideness. Perfect way to finish up the day.

I would like pay homage to the Small Crack living life in the shadows, inside the big crack.

Dear Small Crack ,

If it wasn't for you my life would have been so different. The hind of my pants might have been coloured slightly different on the top out. You provided a sneaky hand jam on the backs of which I rested for eternity, impersonating like a chicken bar PhD to the spectators. You provided me with ample protection without having to tow a cam of the size known to cause bad back for climbers who wear it on their harness.

PS You are the hero we need but we don't deserve.

Yours ever thanking,

My pants and my laundry machine.

Felt a touch easier then Windjammer to me. Better lower half then Windjammer (not too hard) but the top half not as fun.

Soft touch for the grade? Really cool line, but a lot of choss in the first half ruined the climb for me.

packs a punch

....jamming is great...

Awesome climb!!!

Ugh what a fight at the top! Haha good fun.

I barely made it!

Awesome steep crack!

Very nice!

Burly, wonderful crack climbing.

Great climb. It keeps you thinking the whole way. I was happy to get the onsight.

Tape made the climbing at the top nice. It was a grunt fest to get clean. Great climb

AWESOME!!! Mega Classic

Big trad action. Climbs so nicely for a trad route. Tons of big wires. Gets a bit old school up top.
