HUMAN WASTE: Human waste is a major issue plaguing the area. The Southern Nevada Climbers Coalition (SNCC) works to provide "wag bags" free of charge in several locations: Black Velvet Canyon, The Hamlet, Kraft Mountain Area, The Gallery, and The Black Corridor. These bags are designed so that you can pack your waste out. Consider bringing one to be part of your daily kit no matter where you go. Once used, please dispose of them properly. Do not throw them in the toilets at the parking areas.
See https://www.southernnevadaclimbers.org/wag-bags for more information on the program.
Description
A tight squeeze chimney with perfect #1 camalot hand jams in the back. Perfectly smooth black varnished walls make up its two sides.
I would say the crux is being skinny enough to squeeze through it. Upward movement is hard earned in small bites. Although short in length, not short on time required to inch your way up. A good route to run laps on if you want squeeze chimney practice.
As an aside. While climbing it, I started to hear congo drums. I figured it was my heart pounding in my ears, so I took a rest. After listening, it was actually the sound of my heart echoing off the chimney wall. Kinda spooky.
