Description
Tackle the obvious chimney, which is wide enough to allow upward progress but not so narrow as to make it overly difficult. Protection is found near the back of the crack, so if placing gear take some runners to keep the rope drag in check.
This is a good introductory style chimney to get comfortable on wider cracks as it affords good protection and elementary wide crack skills.
- The descent is found about 100 feet to the right of this climb and involves downclimbing and tunneling under some blocks.
Location
The rightmost portion of The Wall (where Chalk Up Another One is located) is split into two by a steep chimney system - this is the route.
