Description
P1: (5.10b 80 ft) Climb stone groove for P1 to chain anchor. Then go around to the corner for the second pitch.
P1-Alt: (5.9 80 ft) Climb Stone Fist
P2: (5.9 70ft) Climb offwidth chimney up the notch walking up a #5 and into an enclosure at the top of the pillar to some rap slings. You may want to stop and belay here due to drag. Then come out and climbers left to a more defined crack protected by a #6. Top out and continue right to bolted anchors by a slung tree.
Decent: two raps down off chain anchors
Note:
This climb intersects the top of P1 of the RORP, so you can continue on that climb or climb P1 of it to top rope this chimney.
