Description
A loose choss-filled chimney with a gritty friction finish.
Start inside of the chimney near a small protectable crack. Move deeper into the chimney to get around a constriction (going outside may be possible). The rock quality here is extremely bad and theres not good protection opportunities for a little bit. After the constriction theres a small ledge where you can transition to an OK crack, or use wide chimney technique, to a large ledge. The second, short pitch ascends some terrible quality gritty friction (oxymoron?). Youll probably have to clean off every feature before planting a foot. Oh, and there's only one placement opportunity, towards the start of the pitch.
Might be an ok route if it cleans up, a lot.
