The beef
To a user who was asking where "the beef" was on this climb, rated WI4, I pointed out this image. Though not quite vertical, the climb is always thin. Actually, as it is pictured here, it is pretty much as good as it gets. The ice umbrella above the climber is called "La main" or"The Hand". It forms consistently because of rising winds. It sure is intimidating to spend an hour belaying right under it.
