Description:

This route can be started on the left and then traverse right (2 bolts) to join the center route. Or you can climb directly up the center to the chute (5.3 no protection) to join the route. This is a true Pinnacles classic and is probably the most popular climb in the park. There are two bolts on each side of the top for double-rope rappels. You can also rappel off the short backside and downclimb the chimney.

Guidebook is inaccurate. If you start from the left, you get two bolts on the traverse, then nothing for about 30 feet until you hit a 2-bolt belay station. I didn't go to the top; couldn't see any bolts. Belayed my follower and rapped to the boulder on the right. No problem with a 60 m rope. I think we probably could've rapped from the very top.
