A left leaning chimney and crack system that leads up 7 pitchs, a fun route that is a good beginer multipitch gear route but is not easy to bail on. Belays all have minimum 2 bolts as of 2009. Some new locations but easy to find. Last pitch climbs a clean steep wall with a 5.8 finish up a slab sporting 2 protection bolts.Descent Options:
Scramble up and left over slabs, ledges, trees and scree. There is a faint trail and cairns. Connects to main trail. Right goes to the summit in 20 minutes. Follow trail left back to car.

Also known as the Chimney Route
Great multipitch with a very fun 2nd pitch along the large prominent chimney, with good gear, bolts and pins.
Note, once you get to the final pitch there is still a fair amount of travel over short cliffbands and broken terrain, that will require an hour to the trail unless you know exactly where you are going.
