Description
This is the frighteningly obvious chimney on the left side of the Inner Outlet when viewed from Sylvan Lake. Climb up to a ledge, and make a weird bouldery move into the chimney that feels hard and strange for 5.6 A long pitch of grunting up the squeeze chimney will leave you on the summit, and probably also cursing Wiessner every inch of the way if you aren't used to wide cracks. For maximum entertainment, have your partner drag up a backpack - their howls of frustration make the whole exercise worthwhile.
This is an absolutely classic route if you like squeeze chimneys, and make sure to have someone take your picture from the lake while doing the route.
