Description
Just stuff your whole body into the chute and stem your way up the chimney to freedom. The trickiest part is negotiating the chimney at the start. After that there is a mix of crimps, slopers, and slab to get your way to the top.
Location
The route is located on the smaller, gum drop shaped feature to the right and in front of the South Horror Rock section of Hall of Horrors. To reach the TR anchor spot, proceed towards the base of My Senior Project, continue up the ramp and scramble to the top of the feature depicted in the route map.
