Description:

Start just to the right of Guccione at the front of the chimney and progress towards the back of the chimney as you climb. Be aware of a possible pendulum swing into the slope of scree at the bottom of the climb if you fall.

Descent Options:

Build a top rope anchor at the top back of the chimney or solo climb. See photos. I'm sure others must have climbed this route, but far as I know this is the first recorded ascent. Easy, but fun if you enjoy climbing chimneys.
