Description:
Popular 2-pitch offwidth/chimney dihedral on the south side of formation, located to the left of The Waterchute. Original 5.6 start goes up the face at about 15' to the left of the crack, then traversing right across a slopey ledge to get to the dihedral. The 5.8 direct start goes up an awkward trough that has a short finger crack inside. The second pitch begins at about 15' to the left of the bolted rap anchor of the first pitch, across the spacious ledge. One bolt protects the second pitch slab topout.Descent Options:
2 raps.

Completed 2nd pitch
Finally completed the 2nd pitch. Need to use a figure 4 knee - foot combo to complete the diehedral. Pretty physical. Full comittment for last move on top.

Good easy climbing
Great fun for any group at j-tree. I did the "5.8" direct start and really enjoyed the upper o.w. section on the first pitch. The second pitch is over quickly.
