Description 

A full value 100' of varying offwidth skills: the first half is mostly chimney and squeeze chimney climbing, while the second half offers a few jams with stem moves inside the chimney, transitioning into either airy face climbing/span moves just outside the wide, perfectly parallel slot finish...or what I would imagine would be more strenuous squeeze chimneying inside.


Location 

As the name implies, right-most route on Sun Wall. A yawning wide chimney marks the start.


Protection 

Large variety of pro required. The final 15+' appear to be protectable only with Big Bros or Valley Giants. Rap anchors can be found at top. Can be toproped by scrambling up 4th class to the west of Sun Wall and moving over to the fixed anchors at the top.
