Description:
Pitch 1-This route begins by climbing the first 50 feet of Blind Faith. When the fist crack starts to steepen angle out right following obvious holds, but beware of loose rock. Belay on a good sized, but not huge ledge. Pitch 2-Climb the right facing dihedral until it is possible to traverse right (look for a fixed pin) back to Blind Faith. Continue up the chimney to the summit.

west chimney on the bastille
very versatile route. Cracks, slab, chimney, roofs...everything. Stupid birds attacked me and felt like I was gonna die. Don't piss off the birds! Which, apparently just sitting there doing nothing is enough for them to attack. When you get to the crux move, where to fixed bolt is, traverse using your hands. Don't try to walk, just won't happen.
