Just left of the dihedral with D's Dry Dream on its right face, is a bolted line that takes off in a shallow, inverted V-slot. Surmount a bulge on jugs and run up to the anchor shared with the route on the left. This line has fun moves, and while the rock looks dubious to start, it has climbed quite well with no hint of things reefing off. Still needs a date with Mr. Brush.
It's still a little dirty but fun if you like to Chimeny. I managed to clip one of my gear loops to the second bolt quickdraw as I moved past. Never had this happen in 29 years of climbing!
Once you find the key foothold in the bottom, this route becomes loads of fun. Our leader made the step out of the chimney onto the left face look delicate and scary. I did it 3 feet higher and it was super easy. This was a great little climb.
I did have my belay device pop off a gear loop and fly out and down the hill below. Make sure your gear is on good in this chimney!!
