Description:
Start at the base of a left-facing corner about 20 feet left from the start of Chim Chimney. Climb the short dihedral and traverse right to a nice crack, and belay in the alcove at the top. Traverse left to a short face leading to a crack with a bush and climb this to the second belay. From here, follow a crack/chimney system, step left at the top of that, and follow the cracks, (and a small face section) to a ledge beneath a right facing corner. From here, it is an easy scramble off left to the top, or follow the dihedral to a roof and crack for a 5.9 finish to the top.
