Description:
Get to the base of the west chimney by hiking up the Peralta Trail. Look for a huge cairn off the main trail to take you to the base. The first pitch is the hard part. Either go through the hole, right of hole or left of hole. Belay on top of the huge chockstone. Climb steep fourth class moves to easy third class. The last pitch is easy but many rope up here. If you're the leader don't fall! A fun worthwhile route to a classic summit. Bring two ropes to rap the route.

Great mountaineering route. A light rack (stoppers and a couple cams) is all you need.
