Description

Room With A View is a chimney that leads to an offwidth.

Location

Start in an obvious cave in the Middle Earth area just left of Karmic Relief.

Protection

You can cheat and clip one bolt of another climb down low. I brought a #4 and #5 C4, and a #6 really would have been better. Maybe a hex would work well where I stuck the #4. This is not too difficult, but it is heady if you don't own the wide stuff.
