Description:
This is a twisting chimney of above average quality that involves thought provoking sequences of stemming, jamming, laybacks, and face climbing. It's allways in the shade and even a little dank. Save the 3 inch nut for protecting the top-out.

Onsight ascent by:
Fun medium width chimney, top is very run out
An enjoyable route that is very safe until the top, which has a runout of 20+ feet on 5.4 terrain (similar to the Sisters). Supplemented the two bolts with cams #2-#4.

Top Rope ascent by:
Challenging chimney
Leader could supplement bolts with cams or nuts in the crack in the back but will make more rope drag.

Fun easy trad climb...
I really liked this route. It's a relaxing fun climb. Good practice for placing protection. Large variation of crack size and shape. The top of the route has a pretty long run out but is a very easy climb. Overall the route is lots of fun!

Ascent Note
Scary runout at the finish, especially after the rain! Good grovel.
