Description:
A steep, fairly long water chute is the basis for this climb; steep near the end especially for the grade; avoid the line at the beginning, and just hike up the slabs on the left; deceptively long - 60m+ from the standard belay stance.Descent Options:
Walk across to top to rap slings (if not removed) on chock boulder near Mama Woosley, or continue down via chimney downclimb near Buissonier (see Descent Option for that).

harder than 5.3
The first 2/3's is virtually a 4th class scramble and unprotected. The last 3rd was definitely harder than 5.3, maybe 5.6 even. If you're a beginner climber, beware.
