Description 

This is a chimney climb located on the right side of the south face of Castle Rock. It can be top-roped (or lead).

The crux may be near the start where you fight some awkward moves to get established in the chimney.

It may be tougher for small kids. It is also used for guiding.


Location 

On the right side of the south face.


Protection 

Cams. A very long set of slings if you top rope off the top.

A fun , short , stout , 5.6 chimney. Near the top , if you chose to stay right of the 5.9 face , there are fun runout moves that will see you to the top. I'm not sure if it is considered part of the chimney route but it is harder than 5.6 . The last moves are an exciting mantle with the key holds on top being part of a hole that might or might not have water in it.
