Description
Start by face climbing up around a wide crack which widens to the point where you can get inside.
Once you are inside the crack there are lots of big holds to make this chimney very easy. There is also a crack that takes regular size gear.
Near the top the chimney widens and the rock becomes smoother and less eroded. Keep chimneying through this and exit to the left. (Towards the river)
Protection
Gear to 3", include small nuts and cams if you want to sew it up, and a sling and draw for the chockstones. Might be easer to bring your second up and rap down Stroking the Chicken rather than lower back down through the chimney, dealer's choice.
As of June 2025, this route has 11 bolts on the left side of the chimney to mussy hooks at the anchors
