Taurine Scream

This video was taken up in Boulder Creek, AK on a classic route called Taurine Scream. The ice on the face of the pillar was exceptionally bad, but the ice that had filled in between the rock and pillar was good. The first time I had to swing onto the front of the pillar it badly dinner plated but the second time I had to swing out on the top of the pillar I made the mistake of putting my tools much to close together (funny how you do these things once your pumped) and took my first ride down an ice route.
