Description:
Straight up the chimney. You can end the route on the ledge area 15 feet below the anchors or you can combine the Too Short route for a tough finish. The start of the route is a little awkward. Be careful on the top, those blocks are loose and will come off.

hrmm, seemed harder then amazing face
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.

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