Location
Start is below and left of the deep, wide chimney approximately mid-way between Lichen and Leap Frog.
Description
Begin by ascending the gneiss staircase below and slightly left of the obvious chimney and immediately right of a short, right-facing corner, up to a mantelshelf. Mantel onto the shelf (DOH!) to gain the deep, outward flaring chimney. Stem the chimney to the small roof/bulge and pull onto the face above. Head for the anchors staying between Leap and Lichen until you reach the large flake (Arkansas Flake) with a bolt on its face. Keep left at the flake and continue to the anchor shared by Lichen and Frog. All gear, no bolts. The first meaningful protection is found at the apex of the chimney, just below the face above the roof/bulge. But, truth be told, it wouldn't prevent a bad fall should you peel making the move up onto the face.
