Description
A great variation to the 4th pitch of Good Heavens. Climbs up into a chimney, to a cave that has a awesome veiw through a hole in the rock. Then takes any number of ways through easy ledges to deposit you on the final pitch of Good Heavens or the large traverse ledge of The Daddy.
Location
From the top of the 3rd pitch of Good Heavens take the ever narrowing tree ledge to the left until you get into a corner. Belay here so there is no rope drag in the cave.
P1- climb up the chimney with a large tree. After fighting your way around the tree get into the slot and go straight in towards the opening until you're in a room like feature. Belay here or climb up to the top to belay. (5.7+)
P2- climb up to the left then to the right to gain the big tree ledge then walk right to rejoin with good Heavens. Or head directly to the left across the tree ledges until you are just below the 3rd pitch of The Daddy
