Ascent Notes for: TM's Deviation - 5.10a Average Rating : 3.67/5

A pretty good chimney that appears a lot harder than it really is. I climbed it with 1 number 4 and a few smaller pieces and didn't even see a place where you would be able to place anything bigger. Watch out at the very top for the rope eating crack or else the top-out blows.

Fun route with different techniques involved. I think harder than 5.9. Watch out for rope eating crack after exiting chimney over the lip.

The first pitch is lame but goes quickly and is well worth doing for the second. Steep butt scumming with good feet, hand jams and bomber gear leads to a wild bombay chimney then finishes off with a short finger crack. Classic I say...

Oh yeah, forget what the guide says, bring a #5 BD. You won't be kicking yourself for doing so.
