Description
This route combines Grant's Crack with the 5.6 chimney above the small belay tree. If you know the name of the route, please leave it in the comments so they I may update it.
Climb Grant's crack or Oak Tree Flake to the belay tree. Second pitch is 5.6-7 depending on where you go, but it's all laid back. Continue up above chimney and slightly right. If you have a 70m rope, you can belay from the large ledge next to the walk off for Swan Slab Gully's 3rd pitch. 60m brings you to a slightly awkward belay on some dirt and grass mounds with large flakes.
There is an old rusted bolt atop the 5.6 chimney.
