Description
Mantelpiece is a 2 pitch route that summits the northeast side of Chimney Rock.
P1. Climb two slab sections split by a low angle crack. At the top of the slab, trend right to a 2 bolt anchor (5.11-).
P2. The second pitch heads up steeper ground on a patchwork of truncated aretes, bulges, and dihedrals. This geometry results in a number of mantels and rests that lead to an increasingly technical headwall before the topout (5.12-).
Rappel twice with a 60 meter rope.
Alternatively, the route can be climbed as a long single pitch as it was on the FA.
