Description:
An obvious chimney climb that climbs the 2nd technical route climbed on the face. The first half of the route climbs low angle broken ground with lots of loose rock on the ledges, once you come upon the 'headwall' of the route that climbs the first real crux that is short lived will bring you basically to the first chimney that is very polished with little gear until a bolt about 20ft or so up, and follows to the upper chimneys that lead to the top. Very tight fit and would be hard to bring a pack.Descent Options:

intresting route
I tried this route in winter conditions with my partner for something to do and backed off around the chimneys. It took us about 3hrs to get to that point. When we did it this time in good condtions we soloed the bottom half side by side just talking which was really cool, and did the top half in 2 pitchs in 2 hours base to top in a casual day. There is lots of fixed gear although this route could slow some people down if your not used to loose rock or when to move fast on easy stuff
