Description 

Immediately right of The Layback is a wide chimney. K-1 ascends a flake on the right side of the chimney. When the flake ends, improvise straight up. It's possible but easier and less aesthetic to stem the chimney behind you.

Protection 

Long (20+ feet) slings are recommended to sling the large boulder above this route. Setting up the anchor involves some exposed class 3 scrambling across the chimney.
