Bancroft topout (Blake)

After giving the pillar a few wallops with my axe I backed away and got
a couple screws in that would keep me off the deck. The ice was near perfect
plastic in the 40 degree temps, though a bit wet! Blake joined me a short
time later on top noting that it was a “nice” route. There is a really nice
mixed variant that I'm told is called "East Meets West" (M5) leading to the pillar,
which is called "Jetstream" (WI 4+). We didn’t attempt the M5 but I’m assuming it
would be a lot of fun. Here I am on top after
climbing the ice left of the pillar.
