Ascent Notes for: Chimney - 5.7 popular Average Rating : 3.50/5

c

pretty easy but with some trickier moves intermitently to keep it fun. finished with the too short route. overall a very enjoyable climb. soloed bottom half before we roped up.

This took some stemming and pressing and tricky wedges of hands and feet. Amazing face seemed like a ladder in comparison. Its not that you would fall, wedged into the chimney and all. But its harder to pull up then the few 5.10's and .11's I have done. Also hard to protect as each section has a little ledge to fall onto before the latest pro will help.

And yeah, I didnt like grabbing those boulders that make up the last roof eather. Kinda had to use a little of the one on the far left though. Looks like it has been pretty well pulled on over the years... which means its solid, or just ready to go :oP

I found this route to be alot of fun.

A couple commiting moves with sparse pro in flaring cracks. Using detached blocks always makes for a great day.

This was a fun climb. It's not really difficult, but its fun to jam your body in the huge crack.
