Access Issue: Stick Clipping Is Highly Recommended
Details
While all routes have been thoughtfully bolted, many lines contain a high first bolt. So, the local ethic is to stick clip the first bolt, and eliminate ground falls.
Description
Climb the leftward angling crack system that juts off of the Chimney. Place cams until the angling flake feature meets the bolt line. Clip bolts from here to safely protect.
Location
Directly left of the Chimney. Refer to photo
Protection
Lead the first half with gear, as the rock quality decreases above the half way point, begin clipping bolts on the left of the crack. Follow the three bolts to an anchor.
