BETA PHOTO: Chutes & Ladders is the thin crack on the left.
Add Photo  Printer View
Description Thin crack along right side (north side) of rappel gully. Follow the crack straight up to a steep section (crux) and then trend left and follow a wider crack to the top of the North summit.
Good pro - but feels greasy and fingery for a 5.7.
May have a small bush in the crack...
(If you are gripped - you can step off left onto the ledge at the rap anchors just before the layback crux).
Location On east side, about 50' right and up from Chug-a-lug. Rap single line to notch.
Protection Trad rack - mostly small-medium nuts. Up to #3 camalot at top.

| This climbs much better (and stiffer) than it looks. |

| Loved it! Thin, but solid moves all the way up. Was a bit stiff, but so is pretty much everything else at PP, ha. The pro is great and all you need is a set of nuts, I placed one small cam, but didn't really need too. The belay is one huge bolt and can be backed up nicely with a #3 camalot. The crack is a bit dirty with pebbles and dead vegetation, but don't let that fool you, it's great fun. |

| Note that Dungeons and Dragons aka Burnt Toast 11b is the bolted line just right of Chutes. |
