Rawrrr!
Fun crack! I clambered up into the little cave to take pictures of the rest of our group after setting the route. Got a few really cool silhouette pictures and one of them I altered a bit on the computer to have T-shirts made.

Sketch
Theres a bit of a runout to the first anchors and it's a horrible place to take a fall. Then there is a dirt ledge with a small tree above the first anchors leading to a bolt and another set of anchors. I would not want to repel or be lowered from there because the rope will surely rub on the ledge. Sketch route all around in my opinion.

Easy enough
First onsight. If you get bitten by skeeters, put on bug spray - the little cave is full of them.

I love Chimneys!
Awkward at first until I rembered how to stem again :) First time free climbing to my first bolt so was nervous. But yeah pretty easy!
