The Chimney is generally done is two short pitches to avoid rope drag along the ledge.
P1. Climb a short, vertical flake with somewhat broken rock. At the top of the flake, climb a right leaning corner past a couple of tricky section to an arete. Follow the arete to a left leaning ramp above and belay just above the first set of bushes.
P2. Continue up the ramp (very easy) to a nice, short corner with some chimney moves higher up. Climb the corner through the chimney moves and belay at trees on the top of the wall. The fun is over almost as soon as it begins.
To descend, walk off to the right and follow the trail that leads down to the base of the Practice Face.
Location
Located just before you turn the corner and scramble up the step to the main wall. Look for a vertical, left facing flake that leads to a small slab.
