Description 

"Got 99 problems, but the pitch ain't one." Short and sweet, this is a fun pitch and a great intro to the trad mixed game. Unlike many of the mixed lines nearby, the rock and gear are good.

The route is located about 150 feet up road from Chockstone Chimney. Look for the obvious, right-facing corner. Approach up steep, bottomless snow (crux). Belay on a nice ledge, and ascend corner and face using a combo of jamming and good hooks.

There is a tree for belaying and rappel at the top of the route. It is possible to walk off skier's right.

Protection 

Single set of cams to 3", maybe extra finger-size pieces.
