Description
This unique route is found on the west face of the wall with The Exorcist and Diamond Dogs, but much farther right where the wall is slabby.
Climb up the chimney and after a short distance dive deeper into the depths of the chimney as it becomes a totally enclosed slot. Continue up this to the top and then exit onto a ledge to finish. The descent is to the climber's left.
Pro may be possible on this route, but this is probably better and easier to solo as the climbing is fairly secure and provides good practice for other wide cracks.
