It also has hand and finger cracks, Michael. You should definitely check it out. If you need beta or LC partners, hit me up. I go out there in a group of three a lot and one of my buddies is desperate to find someone with some bigger cams.

If anyone else if following this.. The first pitch of Inverted lieback has and awesome offwith the squeeze chimney crack... and if you can either continue to the Inverted Lieback crux or bail off after the offwidth and rap down the anchor for lieback

Edited to change name from Overhaning Lieback to Inverted Lieback.. oops

But mainly climberish is right and a road trip is in order. Many places out west for this kind of thing. Even the OW routes that do exist here are really short.

Halfmoon OW pitch, Vertigo, on Cannon Cliff?

I know.. I've been to Vedauwoo and Yosemite but was too intimidated to really give any O.W a go. I mean we had a few odd moves here and there but they were a struggle so my confidence was low. My goal is to gain whatever skills I can here.. and then go practice them on some really good shit on the next trip which is the bugaboos this summer.. big granite splitters :)

That is the Big chimney which has a bit of real wide way up inside but the better call is the line up the face Miss Bailey's once your in the Chimney proper. the line goes up the face on the main cliff stemming will work. . . too. High up is an overhang/corner with a wide crack thru an over hang that is burly after a bunch of climbing. You can go up some ten feet to about five(5) feet below th over hang get good gear and retreat to the belay next to the last pitch of Baby.
this will give the lead a tope rope for a bit to get stoked for the crux;

Not Big Chimney. The route is indeed RMC, as its caption states. Big Chimney/Miss Bailey are out of view, some 120 feet farther right.

I gladly will agree, it has been along time since I have been there .

That block before the chimney? Looks like what I remember Big Chimney looking like
But
I see not, having the cool gear, a 1.5 frnd, or .75green Camalot, placed in a crack straight up above ones head, protecting the step across is not there.
