Description
Go up the chimney inside a protruding thick flake, then transfer up and rightward onto a shallow diagonal ramp (with marginal pro if any), then up twin thin cracks to the top. Walk off the backside and cw around to frontside base.
This is exactly the drawn line for 1488 in the photo in the JT West book, tho 1488 is attributed to Touchy Feely to adjacent right of Look But Don't Touch. Look But Don't Touch is not as indicated in that photo by the 1487 arrow around the corner to the left and behind. Nothing like the route there. Just a minor error. Easy enough to figure out as this is the only chimney to twin cracks on this part of the formation.
