This is the line we took to get to the chimney. Felt like 5.8 moves

Cruz pitch. Felt a little soft for grade

The Fairy Tale Traverse variation of the last pitch - a must do!

Location/detail of pitches 3 and 6.

The awesome "Fairy Tale Traverse." Super exposed!

The approach

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

This is the correct angle of the cover page photo. Still a spectacular position. From Aug 2012.

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!

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

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.

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.

Exposure is nuts.

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

Pitch 3

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

As others have noted, the 5.8 variation is easy to navigate, just follow the pins! They actually don't look sooo bad.
