Description:
This route is several hundred feet right of the Forrest/March chimney system. Climbs a steep, beautiful splitter crack on the smooth lower half of the wall. The upper half of the wall is more broken. Contrary to popular opinion, the upper half of this route offers good climbing and some classic ledges. The last two pitches are low angle 5.5 climbing. These pitches aren't that bad if you fix and fire the route or have the climber seconding jug with the pig. I really enjoyed this route.Descent Options:

easy route, splitter is great, if you dont want to back clean bring at least 4 sets of brass offsets.

Nice uncrowded route
We slept in then hopped on this route after breakfast. It went pretty smoothly and the aid pitches were fun. We climbed the last couple of pitches in the dark, which is OK with such an easy descent. We even made it down in time for beer at the Bit 'n' Spur!

Ascent Note
Burt and I climbed the first half of the route. WE were trying to do it in a push, which wasd quite honestly way over our heads(at the time). This was one of those things were nothing went right from the start..got picked up in Vegas late(by like 4 hours!) and it just went down hill from there. The climbing was good though...
