Ascent Notes for: Chute Up - 5.3 Average Rating : 3.33/5

and used it to set up a TR for a couple adjacent climbs

It was a chute that you go up.... get it... chute up. anyway, I dont know if it would be a really fun climb except for the very beginner.

Straightforward enough....except we had intended to get to the W.A.C. anchors to set a TR. I swear I had a guide who did that once.

It would be an understatement to say.....I got to the ledge, and balked at finishing. Looking at unprotected chimney moves - wiiiiiide - onto a steeply sloping dome, or a step up/onto the dome earlier, with just a nassty, nasty opportunity to tumble.

Finally my partner led over the left traverse mentioned above, and got the Fun Stuff anchors.

I recall, vaguely, a mention somewhere of a JTree 5.2 with an end that "just wasn't fair for a low level leader." If this isn't the one, it's a good candidate for the title.

Nice easy crack. Traverse left where the buttress splits right and you can rap off the anchors at fun stuff.
