Description:
Obvious chimney system to the right of Thin Air. Historic line with awkward yet rewarding climbing. If you don't know how to climb a chimney, you better learn first! Will seem much harder than 5.7 to a sport climber or budding trad leader. There are several runouts with ground/ledge fall potential.

Onsight ascent by:

Started on the standard route before moving onto Toe crack. Was a good fun start with a good bit of pro potential. Just need to keep an ey eout for the right spot for the right pro.

interesting
always seen people climbing the route and it looked fun. partner did first two pitches of toe crack, in one pitch. then i groveled up the chockstone and lead the somewhat sketchy and moderately not-protected right wall. the last pitch was dirty and not too fun. my partner exited left onto a harder slab.

Flash ascent by:
Standard Route
Did first two pitches of Toe Crack and finished Standard Route to the Thin Air ledge. Third pitch has a lack of pro, fourth pitch finishes left if one climbs before getting too deep into the gully.
Switched leads.
