Description
This is a chimney climb. It has great gear placements all the way up. I'd say the crux is a small bulge about 3/4 the way up. Great climb to practice placements on.
Location
Look for the obvious chimney about fifteen feet to the left when the trail ends.
Protection
No cams larger than a #2

I kept waiting for the 5.8 move, and it never happened.
Also, because of the way the crack opens inside, hexes may be more useful than cams for the upper hand-crack. Feb 14, 2015
