Lord Greystoke 5.11b - If you live near Chimney Rock in northen Idaho and love steep granite crack climbing, this route is a must do. Note the grades on the few routes I climbined on the west face are stiff (old school alpine). I nearly pooped myself on a 5.8 mantle move!

The East Face of Chimney Rock in Northern Idaho = stellar granite crack climbing.

Near the top of the first pitch of Eye of the Tiger 5.11.a - all I can say is if you have BD cams triples from .75 up to three and two fours are a wonderful thing on this route and many others on this face.
