Description 

A nice pitch goes up the pleasantly varnished and featured chimney to a belay position in a small alcove. The second pitch continues up the steep crack on somewhat softer and less pleasant rock. Pitch three frictions up to a left-slanting ramp. The route finishes on easier slabs above.


Location 

The route starts in the obvious chimney about twenty feet left (west) of Ernest Stemmingway.
