Description Suggest change

Use the same start as V-Chimney, but stay right on the short, overhanging, blocky section that leads to a sizable ledge. You can also climb the vertical, left-facing section (at the start of the v-shaped chimney feature) to get to the ledge; this option offers better protection. From the ledge, tackle the widening crack that finishes as an offwidth. There is a wedged flake within the middle section of the crack that offers some relief for one-handed gear placement. Exiting the offwidth crack (i.e., the topout) is the crux.

Location Suggest change

This ascends the upper, offwidth crack at the inside corner to the (climber's) right of the distinguishable V-Chimney route.

Protection Suggest change

Toprope from a tree anchor or protect with large gear (BD #5 for crux).

This is a pretty desperate & heady lead for the grade (with ledgefall potential).
