Description This route climbs up the slab in to the nice chimney just left of Hammond Organ(5.10d). The climbing is a cool combination of stemming and awkward positioning.
You may encounter some loose rock, but it is easy to avoid.
This route is a fairly new addition to the crag and is a good way to help deal with the crowds that can gather here on busy days.
Location On the left side of the Jimmy Cliff area, locate the chimney that divides the nice smooth featured rock of the right end (The Junco area) and the broken corner alcove to the left (Drilling for Dollars area).
Protection 9 bolts to anchor.

this route is a very fun route at the grade, if somewhat of a grovel it is still a ton of fun with no hands rests all the way up |

| A great chimney route to start warming up on. Don't forget extensions to eliminate drag. 9 bolts to LO. |

| It's 5.7 if you suck at chimneys (me), or 5.5 if you love them like my GF, who led it, and she definitely feels it's 5.5 |

| The description says to the right of Hammond Organ, but it should read to the left. |
