The initial moves to get into the Chimney are very committing, above me the chimney narrows and there is a chockstone. Bring a LONG sling. mine was too short to sling it and I had to run it out. I recommend a backpack leash so you can dangle it, its tight

Mia cruising the traverse, loving every second!

Looking up at the 5.8 variation. At least 5 old pins in there.

Beginning the traverse

Lost on P1 Peter Anania and Phil Shenett did this variation, an airy 5.8 said Pete..

Cruz pitch. Felt a little soft for grade

This is where you want to approach the Fairy Tale from, at the top of the 5.6 step, look for a place you can sneak around the ridge to the right, this takes you here. Very easy to miss.

Goes by feet too!

This is the corner before the corner that leads this the traverse. The photographer's partner had just finished the traverse and kindly snapped a picture of me.

Fairy-tale traverse and final corner. Super fun climbing on great rock.

The enormous pitch 5 belay ledge

Looking down the slippery corner/awkward mantel pitch,. Belay on small gear.

Exposure is nuts.
