It also has hand and finger cracks, Michael. You should definitely check it out. If you need beta or LC partners, hit me up. I go out there in a group of three a lot and one of my buddies is desperate to find someone with some bigger cams. |

I know.. I've been to Vedauwoo and Yosemite but was too intimidated to really give any O.W a go. I mean we had a few odd moves here and there but they were a struggle so my confidence was low. My goal is to gain whatever skills I can here.. and then go practice them on some really good shit on the next trip which is the bugaboos this summer.. big granite splitters :) |

That is the Big chimney which has a bit of real wide way up inside but the better call is the line up the face Miss Bailey's once your in the Chimney proper. the line goes up the face on the main cliff stemming will work. . . too. High up is an overhang/corner with a wide crack thru an over hang that is burly after a bunch of climbing. You can go up some ten feet to about five(5) feet below th over hang get good gear and retreat to the belay next to the last pitch of Baby. |

Not Big Chimney. The route is indeed RMC, as its caption states. Big Chimney/Miss Bailey are out of view, some 120 feet farther right. |
