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.
