Description Suggest change

Son of Great Chimney is an inspiring and intimidating line for the grade. Start on the left side of the north face. Off balance moves up the arete will lead you past a couple pins and into the middle crux with a few big moves. Make your way over to the right side, and finish up the right hand arete. Don't forget to enjoy the view.

It is true that Pete's onsight lead in 1968 was one of the single greatest moments in the history of climbing in the United States. Few routes across the country could compare at the time.

Location Suggest change

Hard to miss if you are looking at it from the top of Prospect point.

Protection Suggest change

Fixed pins, some old, some have been replaced with new reqruits lately. Wires, small cams.
