1st Pitch Chimney


Description 

Banana Peels- loaded with wet, loose and licheny 5.8 chimneys! Maybe not the best route on Sundance. The 1st pitch really isn't that bad but the 2nd pitch... has anyone done this?? We climbed straight up the nasty left-facing o.w., chimney above. I'd be tempted to rate it 5.9 R/X and I didn't even finish the pitch. So, if for some reason you want to climb the 1st pitch of Banana Peels, I'd strongly advise the 90ft rap to the ground or maybe finish on Kor's Flake.

Bring a standard rack up to a #4 Camalot.

I did the 1st pitch of this today with my wife, thinking, with my head up my butt, that I was on the 1st pitch of Kor's Flake. We bailed at the rap slings thinking that we had seriously under-estimated the route. Once we got down, I took another look my printed copy of the route and saw my mistake. As chimneys go, I actually liked it, but it was pumpy, and now we have to hump back up there again to do Kor's Flake.
