Description 

This is a nice climb hidden in a big chimney on its R wall in a bigger buttress. There appears to be other activity nearby. Found it accidentally. 1.8 mi from the E Entriance kiosk (per Desert Rock III) on the Rim Rock Drive. There is a right-angle arrow sign on the road. Scramble up. There is a nice, short, 25' 5.8+ clean corner with tight to wide hands below the climb for a warmup. Scramble up. Enter the chimney. A hand crack with face holds around. Rappel 75'.

Protection 

I used 2 #31/2F, 3 #3F, 3 #21/2F, 2 #2F, 1 #1/2F (near top), old piton, old 1/4" bolt, wire.
