Goback Mountain

Jihad - NEI 5+ 60m

Immediately right of Valhalla up the obvious corner to finish on ice columns (not to be confused with Goback Gully, another 20' right and perpendicular to the Valhalla face)

Protection: Cams, Nuts, Screws

Descent: Rap route

FA: Ian Austin, Josh Hurst

Extenuating Circumstances: All good gear, no pins, great screws in the ice up high.

Notes: Two small roofs with the opportunity to stem off the ice smear, no hands rest 2/3 way up, finish on vertical to overhanging ice.

*Further Note: Rare vegetation at the start so future ascents please wait for ice to come all the way down and protect the plants like we did.  One of the best routes that I've ever been on.
