Description

fun chimney climb 25 ft left of catapiller corner. pretty easy climbing although most peeps would prolly say 5.6 but i thought 5.5 was good. good prodeep in the chimney. varries from chimney to squeeze to a lil off width thrown in. gotta wrestle 3 trees on the way up.great beginer route.not sure on the order of routes but its right in this bunch can summit the turret from here with a lil 5.easy. But it down climbs a lil goofy. Could also set up top ropes for most of the routes on either side

Location

[Hide Comment] I was at Turret today with the intention of possibly free-soloing this line. SQL III (p 216) states, and the photo shows it, as being to the RIGHT, not the left, of Caterpillar Corner as the description here says... That's a kind of important distinction. Also...There is a route listed in SQL III (Doin' That Crazy Hand Jive) between Chimney and Rabbit Tracks. Jun 11, 2020
