The land is owned by the LDS Church; please be respectful of this. MORE INFO >>>
Unknown by many people, the land, from at the LDS Church record vaults up to and including the Gate Buttress is owned by the LDS Church. The privately-owned areas include The Fin, The Thumb Area, Green Adjective Gully, Schoolroom Area, and Gate Buttress.
Over the past 40 years there have been several closures of this property to climbing.
Currently, climbers are welcome visitors in part because of Utah's Land Owner Liability Law and the work of local climbers to preserve access.
In 1998 through 2000 this area was quarried and is presently under restoration and re-vegetation. The climbers' trail goes through part of this area. Please stay on the trail so that this area can recover.
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project.
You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Description This chimney is so tight that only skinny climbers can slither through...Try it naked.
Location Climb the squeeze chimney above the top of the 2nd pitch of Split Pants. It's the crack forming the left side of the big roof.
Protection The chimney itself doesn't protect. Perhaps take a few cams for above the chimney.

| I'd say "skinny climbers" is an understatement. 1960's skinny was an entirely different description. |

| As a teenager, I could fit through easily. There used to be a few chockstones in there too. A few years later I couldn't fit. |
