Chris on High Chaparral

High Chaparral can be a bit of a bushwhack to get to, but it's well worth the effort. It's a thin, extra-crimpy face climb on a beautiful boulder across the wash from the main area. The boulder can be seen from several points along the main trail: it sits by itself in the chaparral, and its prominent orange face is split by an obvious horizontal crack. The problem shown here is V5; Sherman added a V7 variation, and there are some other problems as well.
