Description
This is good old fashioned chimney route, and is just to climbers left of Steppes of Central Asia. The rock is solid, and the climbing is good. Two rappel bolts are found on the summit, which is to the climbers right of the route. The R rating reflects the need for very large cams (5-6 inches), if one wishes to fully protect the route. Even with two 4 inch cams, a ground fall is possible. Nevertheless, the chimney felt secure to me.
