The skill level, required to climb Pencil Falls, is grade WI 5. The route has at least 100 ft/30.5 m of vertical climb, with good quality, thick ice and protection. Once you reach the top at 4900 ft/1493 m, climb down on the left as you face the route, follow a ramp and at the end of this ramp, you will find a rappel station.

Climbers should take two 196 ft/60 m ropes, ice tools, ice protection and snowshoes with them. Always check the weather conditions before you choose this climb due to high avalanche danger on the area.
