Description The start on on the right wall of a chimney that rises 1/3 of the climb into an off width. the final moves are hands / fingers to the top. A great climb and a good introduction to chimneys.
Location The route is obvious from the base, find the large chimney, left side of the crag as you face it- rap from tree anchors to decend.
70m helpful- tie knots at the end of your cord if using a 60m
Protection Standard trad rack to 3", no fixed gear but solid trees for an anchor.

| Awesome route. Crack and chimney climbing. Old school 5.7. In my humble opinion one of the best 5.7 leads in CT
Starts as a finger crack then through a bulge. Goes to chimney (almost runout) then to some hand crack.

| Beware the poison ivy vine on climber's right about 15 ft from the top. |
