Description
Immediately left of Chieu Hoi is a red right-facing corner. This is the start of Brimstone. P1 is a little overgrown but if it weren't for the tree blocking a good view of it, the pitch would probably see more traffic. P2 is serious.
P1: climb corner to a small ledge with oak tree (squeeze past tree). Climb the steep corner/crack to the big ledge where p1 of Granite Jungle finishes. (5.10)
P2: from the right side of the ledge, climb the sweet arete which has a seam running up it. Then climb easy ground to the ledge where p2 of Granite Jungle finishes. (5.10+)
Choose your adventure to the top or rap.
Linking this with crack n up would create one of the more serious outings the Mtn.. gnarly!

Protection
Single rack to #2 or 3 and small wires
P1 is well protected, Pitch 2 is serious and the crux moves are well above gear that might very well not hold (didn't test them thankfully). This pitch might be "x". However the climbing is worthwhile and if you don't want to spook yourself it's easy to TR it from the Chieu Hoi/Granite Jungle ledge.
