The Constrictor.


Description 

Start in a left facing corner that soon goes from hands to OW, and when possible move right and climb twin cracks on the right wall. When they come together move back and into the chimney. Climb squeeze chimney for 50' with no pro until it constricts and forces you out to a bolt on the right wall. Climb past two more bolts to the anchors.
Pitch two was started but not completed.


Location 

The route is on the left side of the wall and is the prominent S-shaped chimney that reaches from the bottom to the top.


Protection 

bring triple #3 and #4 camalots, one #4.5 and #5,and one each of the smaller sizes.
