Comments: It's pretty obvious from the top, but the walk off is to the left, not the right as stated above.

Comments: This quality of chimney climbing is a rarity on the Front Range and the views from the top are some of the best in the Flatirons. This climb is not to be missed by those who can "take care of business".
There are enough good placements to make this climb managable but there will still be some "do not fall" sections. Look around and you should be able to find 3-4 bomber placements.
I'd suggest a single set of cams from green Alien up to a #3 Camalot and just a few stoppers in the @POUND... more >>

Comments: I'm pretty sure that Litter Box is the short sport/mixed route that begins just around the corner to the left of Long Walk Crack. This is an undocumented line.

Comments: There are chains at the top that also serve a short sport/mixed climb (Litter Box 5.10a) that starts around the corner to the left of this route.

Comments: Despite the meager height, it is a respectable OW pitch (at least by Boulder Canyon standards) for those seeking experience.

Comments: If you aren't smart enough to avoid a route with a name like "The Bowels" (guilty), at least do yourself and your belayer a favor and traverse left into Short Tour at the chockstone instead of topping out into pile of loose rock that lies at the top of the chimney.

Comments: First pitch is safe with double rope technique. Climb up the gully, place some pro and clip your right rope, climb down, get on the slab and gain the crack. Lead the rest of the pitch on your left rope.
If you want to make it spicy you can, but don't let that stop you from getting on this excellent route! (Oops, did I just let the cat out of the bag?)
The crack/didedral is excellent!!!
Above the dihedral I don't know where this route is supposed to go to be R rated, but if you just keep g... more >>
