Description

Scary looking chimney. I wounder what the pro would be like. I bet there are cracks on the inside walls.

Location

You cant miss it. Walk south along the wall and look up. I doubt it ever sees sunlight.

please tell me if you know.

[Hide Comment] Jules George and I did the FA of this in the early 0O’s. I led the chimney. I don’t remember a lot but there’s not much pro. I don’t remember setting any anchor or even what we lowered off. No fixed pro. I want to say we slung a chock stone to rap down. You figure it out, we did! 5.9ish and def. not as hard as Epinephrine.
Later that night, driving back to Vegas on the long dirt road, rabbits kept tarning in front of the car. Jules was dozing. I muttered something about, “these rabbits are suicidal.” After a while, she roused herself and said, “did you just say All the Rabbits in Switzerland are Dead?” Apr 19, 2021
