Description

This is a pretty creative climb because is provides different challenges for climbers of different heights. Those with shorter legs may find the crux at the top to be a little less annoying than those who may have longer legs. A great climb for anyone who is looking to challenge themselves on something other than small finger cracks.

[Hide Comment] Next time I'm here the anchors are getting a redo. Currently the two bolts don't have hangers instead are just chains bolted with some washers. You're only able to set rap up on one bolt so it's not ideal... Apr 18, 2016

[Hide Comment] Contact me if you need supplies. I have rap rings, hangers and bolts for replacement work, and can forward some that way. Apr 19, 2016

[Hide Comment] I'm not a fan of chimneys, and this really isn't one (the chimney bit starts after several face moves, almost 2/3 up the climb) but this is a pretty good intro to chimney style. It's worth doing, if only to learn how much scumming your booty up the wall sucks May 26, 2021
