Description

This is a pretty fun chimney to go up. It is narrow so there is lots of squeezing and squirming if you are a bigger.

There is lots to grab onto and lots of foot holds as well.

The hardest part about the chimney is coming out of it. There is a nice sloping ledge on the left side and a few big holes, jugs, on the right side.

Protection

This is a trad route but it also has TR anchors bolted above.

It is a nice wide crack/narrow chimney. There is a very nice crack in the very back to place gear, it is a tight squeeze though. There are few spots on the sides for bomber placement.

Here is a good pic of this route. Follow the crack strait to the top.
