Description:
On the right side of the Grunt Chamber is an overhanging chimney/flair. It is quite short and I never thought it deserved its 5.10 rating. You decide. The name comes from the sausage, which it apparently turned the first ascent party into. I thought Kilo Crack was the harder of the two, but I had Kilo Crack ruthlessly wired. Go climb them. They are fun! F.A. Duane Raleigh, Rick Thomas (1980)

I'm with drub on this one
Not sure where the 10a came from on this one - it has a fun, if too short, jamming section. I guess the chimney could be 10a or more if you chose to ignore every other feature in the area, like the other crack/seam system running parallel to the wide one, just inches away; could provide good OW/tight squeeze practice w/ easy opportunity for bailing, I guess, except it leans back right away. Still, I'm happy to have done it, no "mini-epic" or anything. Belay at top was easy, could have been purely "positional", i.e. friction and being wedged in would have been plenty, but I went ahead and anchored in a bit just to be sure.
