Description Suggest change

The crux are 2 chimneys that have old rotten rope in them. You can probably trust them but do so with caution. I would rate the cruxes 5.8 without the rope, and they are only 15-20 feet tall. Exposure is pretty minimal at the cruxes, but can be a little hairy on the rest of the trail.

Location Suggest change

See pictures for how to get to the trailhead. Otherwise hire a guide.

Protection Suggest change

Old, jungle rotted fixed ropes where you need them. For a real challenge, climb everything without the ropes.

Chimney #1. If you trust the ropes, this is 4th class. If you don't trust them, and your feet are dry, it is a 5th class chimney. If your feet are muddy, it is a 5.15b

The rabbit hole. Tight squeeze into another 4th class chimney with the ropes. Without the rope it is a 5.6 chimney.
