Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description This is the dihedral directly south of As the Crow Flys. The climb is actually 5.6 except for the bouldery move getting into the dihedral. This is a good intro to crack climbing. The crack takes good gear the whole way and there are great feet on either side of the dihedral. Use Anchor and rap rings for As the Crow Flys. Step left to ledge at top of climb to reach bolts. There are several top rope problems that can be done on either side of Turkey Chute ranging from 5.6-5.9
Protection .75-3 cams Bolt anchor and rap rings. There are two additional bolts directly on top of Turkey Chute with an easy walk off if you choose not to rap.

| This is a great climb - nothing like a low-angle dihedral with great gear! I second the opinion regarding the start. |

| This was my 2nd trad lead route. For me the first section to get on the actual ledge is the crux. Placed a nut just on the right side of the rock before the ledge. Then once I made it up on the ledge it was fairly fun placing pro on the crack or either side of the wall. There's an anchor with quick links straight up above the route. Just keep going straight up and you will find it on top. |

| One rap ring is missing, but you can easily rap from As The Crow Flies anchor/rap (down and left). |

| Both rap rings are there, but it's a safe solo. The little boulder problem at the start is the crux, just finish it off as a highball. |
