Description:
Pitch 1 goes to a bolted anchor on the ledge by the tree. There are a lot of ways to get there. The path of least resistance is a 5.4 to the right. The hardest option (and the most fun) is to take the 5.9 chimney to the left for about 10'. There is a crack in the back of the chimney which takes big gear (#3 and #4 Camalot). After pitch 1 you can find an easy route to the top (almost a walk off) or you can climb the wide 5.7 chimney/crack to the right. There are 3 bolts protecting the crack and a bolted anchor at the top.Descent Options:
There is a bolted anchor at the top of each pitch you can rapell off of. If you climb the second pitch you can walk off.

I did two variations of this route. The first time I lead one of the easier paths and did both pitches. The second time I follewed shrug7 up the 5.9 variation. The chimney is much more fun.
