Description:
Starting in the right facing dihedral (same as for Tom Thumb), climb up and right to the hidden chimney and belay in the stacked boulders beneath an easy crack. Follow the easy crack above and step out to the right when it starts to narrow, then head up to the easier of the two right-leaning cracks on the face above (The one on the left is the Crisco Way Variation---5.8), the right one is the easier of the two at about 5.5 or 5.6. Belay on the ledge that leads across to the top of "The Thumb". Climb the nice crack above (crux) to another ledge about 50 to 60 feet above and belay. From here, follow the chimney/crack system as far as your rope will let you, and belay as high in the crack as you can. It should be an easy scramble off to the top from here.

This route is super physical. We did the Cisco Way variation and was pretty tough. You might want to break the knee pads out from the office and bring them. I was pretty exhausted after reaching the top. A must do and super classsic offwidth and chimney climbing.
