Please refrain from blocking the road, yield to oncoming mining vehicle traffic, and be careful of rockfall and icefall. Please share the road to minimize future access issues with the road's multiple user groups.

Description
This is a Skylight area climb. It is in the next slot downhill from Chockstone Chimney. There are 2 variations. The left variation is a short, nice slab to tree rappels. The right variation is harder.
The left hand route is about 60m from the base to the belay tree, so it is a full pitch.
In Feb '07 there was a middle section that was too thin to protect with screws, and there were no rock placements (not even knifeblades). I got in a pretty good cam just below this section, and there was enough ice for decent pick placements, so it was OK.
After that there is a big snow shelf and a fun steep bulge at the very top, where you'll find a tree equipped with slings and rings. Feb 14, 2007
