Description

Climb up into the chimney on decent rock. This isn't climbed very often, so there may be spiderwebs. There, the crack squeezes down to offwidth and leans left a bit. Pull over the bulge where it squeezes down and continue to the top in the offwidth on good rock.

Location

Just left around the corner from the huge dihedral with a slab on the left and a massive arete on the right, which is Titanic. This is the very apparent left angling wide crack that pulls a bulge 20 feet up.

Protection

Gear to the big stuff. Rap off trees.
