Description Suggest change

The route beings with vertical face past several horizontals (gear to 1.5") to a step left into a long right-slanting hand crack. Midway up the crack step right a bit and employ a combination of crack and face climbing which leads to a large ledge with bolted anchors.

This is an often overlooked route that is on par with some of the more popular Hidden Valley classics that often have a line of people on them. If you haven't done this climb check it out - you might just be pleasantly surprised.

Location Suggest change

Located on the East Face of Chimney Rock and identifiable as a right-slanting crack leading to a large ledge just right of the namesake "chimney" which splits the rock.

Protection Suggest change

Gear to 3 inches. Belay/rap anchor (3/8 inch) on ledge.
