Description:
Walk left from Ralph and Bob's to a large Chimney just past a lofty overhang. Work up the stiff 5.7 using any means necessary. Be careful of large loose rocks near the top. Our rope gun knocked loose a 40 pound boulder in an attempt to kill our belayer. Also route is dusty. Burly and fun.

might be a 5.7 but
it's not a 5.7 start unless you get a boost, particularly for someone short. we had a shorter woman in the group who's a solid 5.10 climber that had a hard time getting a reachy smeary start going. we all agreed this is a harder climb than the 5.9 autumn around to the right.
