Description 

This climb is located in the middle of the wall left of the climb Mean Mistreater. The first bolt is up aways and may deter some. The climbing then follows small crack systems and flakes right towards the ledge below a prominent chimney. When we climbed it we found that it was easiest to traverse a bit further right at the end of pitch 1 and just belay at the three bolt anchor of Mean Mistreater. The second pitch ascends the chimeny either in or out. I found the crux of the route getting from the belay to in the chimney. Belay at the top between a small boulder and a small oak. Walk off.


Protection 

There is one bolt about 15ft. up the beginning slab and the rest can be done with small to medium nuts and Camalots .3- #2

I've got to agree with that last comment. Climbed it for the first time today and was not all that impressed. I guess if you like chimneys...

Are you kidding? What's not to like, great rock, great exposure and fun climing (try steming the outside of the chimney and staying to the right). There is more to climbing then just simply "pulling down".

I agree with Jeff on this one. Run-out but classic!

Did it two days ago. Getting to the first bolt is classic old time adventure climbing. Finished on the bolted arete right of the chimney which was cool. Two raps down Mean Mistreater get you down.
