Description Chivalry is a good route that is just to the right of the The Shitter or two routes to the right of Balance. Look for a line of hangers snaking up the face, just at the apex of where the trail to the Pinnacle scrambles across a narrow and exposed ledge. The route gets a PG-13 rating ‘cuz you wouldn’t want to blow the first clip'. Well, no one should consider using a stick clip; just figure out how to do the move. Once the first bolt is clipped, launch up into a difficult mantle that makes for the mental crux of the route. Afterwards regain your composure on the face, and delicately ascend past 4 or so more bolts to a set of anchors. Enjoy!
Protection 8 quickdraws should certainly suffice. Maybe take a single locker for the first bolt if that makes you more comfortable.

| This route should have a sign on it that says, "Avoid Me". Chossy and Mossy the whole way up...not worth setting foot on and I am a big fan of most climbs in Cheyenne Canyon. The moves were not fun, nor were they challenging. Did not flow well at all. Dont waste your time. |

| Come on, Jason. This is not a bomb and I found no loose rock, but the lichen is on the rock and not on the good holds. Stick clip the first bolt and have fun. This is a good slab climb that keeps you thinking. |

| Like I said, I am a fan of most climbs in the canyon. Just thought this was a total junkpile from start to finish...did not flow well at all. I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one. And your one star rating is not much better than my bomb. |
