Description:

Found between the lower and upper west face. Climb up the narrow "stairs" to a slab protected by nuts in the crack on the left. Slab finishes on a ledge. Walk up to the 15' chimney straight ahead and top out. Called a 5.1 in Indy's book. Not sure if the chimney is on the route as it felt harder than a 5.1. But who knows what the difference between a 5.1 and a 5.4 is?

Descent Options:

Walk off.

2 out of 5 stars Easy

Climbed this with a pack since it was described as easy. Either the pack made it a lot harder or it isnt a 5.1. The last 15' feet up the chimney is pretty vertical and fun.
