A most excellent adventure! The hike up the scree slope approach is harder than the climb.
First pitch is a 4th class scramble to base of chimney. Second pitch to chockstone is only pitch needing any pro. Third pitch is 3rd class. Fourth is @5.0 easy free solo, but very exposed. Entire climb could be done without protection, but a rappel rope for the descent is the only way to go (one 60m will work well).
