My first 5.8 and Chimney lead. Didn't know this was going to end up turning into a Chimney until half way up. I had to slide a single cam up the first 40ft of this thing, with much cussing involved. Would do it all over again though!

I jumped into this pretty early, only the 2nd time out doing any type of following before trying this lead. Also the reason why this 5.5 was scarier then any 5.10anything that I led on sport before! Short fun climb though, and now I must invest in a rack because I caught the trad bug, haha.
