Obsession (WI4, 60M)

Climbing the talus slope to the belay bolts on Obsession is like walking over snow covered shattered bowling balls. It wasn’t terribly hard but a fall and roll would leave you in bad and mangled shape. We donned crampons to make our way up the low angled ice to the bolts on the left hand side of the climb and a long time later a stance and belay anchor was ready as was Nate to climb the thing! He worked his way up the grade 2+ or so ice to the base of chimney of vertical WI4. Then he gunned for it, placed many screws and finally got a rest on the rock on the left where it made a nice backrest. 45 minutes later I joined him on top congratulating him on some fine leading.
