Description:
Climb to the second fixed belay on Big Chimney. Walk left on ledges and big horizontals until you see an obvious, right leaning hand crack moving up to a right facing corner/overhang/flake system. Up this and undercling/hand traverse out right to the right edge of corners, and pull the overhangs here. Continue to the top as desired.

Ascent Note
I guess you could call this a "chickenshit onsight." I jumped on this pitch without knowing what the guidebook said, having left it on the ground - it just looked like a really inviting pitch. And it really is great - one of the best pitches of 5.7 in the Gunks, and very G rated. It was good to get the first ascent experience, for sure.
So I took a hang before pulling the final exit moves from the overhang, because I was getting pretty pumped and uncertain about the commitment, but in hindsight I could easily have just gone for it. Once you gain the stance above the overhangs, the difficulties are over.
