Description:
This is the most commonly formed route of the two on this wall. Park on the south side of the highway across from the obvious large sheet of ice on the north side of the highway. Easier than Hypercard, but always seems to form, it sports at least 30 feet of vertical ice at the bottom before it eases off into the steps of the upper section. The final 10 foot pillar of ice can be quite tricky and difficult to protect. After this pillar, traverse about 25 feet left across a ledge to reach the anchors.

Midweek is the time to hit it
We climbed the leftmost flow. The ice was hard until the sun swung around and started to warm it up. Traffic isn't too bad mid-week, though we stretched the lunch "hour"
