Description
Gunsmoke ascends a third and final chimney, different than the other two, and it is worth doing.
Climb up the back corner of the Firing Chamber, where 3 different sections of chimney intersect. A flaring, offset crack in the narrowest section of chimney offers a few reasonable points of protection sufficient to make the route safe as a trad lead. Climb this to the top, and belay on a large cordalette on some boulders.
