Description:
An exhilarating route up the big chimney on the south side of The Big Boulder. Start up the face immediately right of the bottom of the chimney; strenuous climbing on mini overlaps and side-pulls on the edge of the chimney takes you past 3 clips (5.9). Then fun stemming, face climbing, and chimney moves take you to the top of the chimney - impressive exposure in a fine position (5.7-5.8). A short and easy low-angle face takes you to the anchor.Descent Options:
Rap (60 m single rope) or continue to the top of the boulder and descend the loose 4th class scramble on the north side.

Nice crack
Don't get yourself wedged in there even though it's so tempting. Got my rope stuck for the first time so I had to climb it twice to retrieve it.
