Chockstone Chimney rappel route. From the top of Upper Ruper, scramble uphill to a wide notch, then down the other side to two huge bolt hangers on the left wall of the chimney. A 100' rappel with a 60m rope takes you to the Upper Ramp; watch the ends of the rope.<br>
<br>
To descend from here, go around the right (N) side of a short slab and traverse left on a ledge to the rappel tree for the Upper Ramp (Vertigo) rappel route. See the photo on the Redgarden Wall page for details.<br>
<br>
The pocketed wall to the left is Body Tremors; around the corner to the right is Italian Arete.

Upper Ramp rappel route. From the base of Chockstone Chimney, hike up to the right side of the slab by a tree, then downclimb the slab to a ledge. Traverse left on the ledge to a bolted rappel anchor. <high>This anchor was installed on August 21, 2006 to replace the anchor on the wobbling tree.</high> Rappel 65' to a stance with bolts and chains.<br>
<br>
A second 95' rappel takes you to Vertigo Ledge. Follow Vertigo Ledge until it intersects the West Face trail.

Each rappel station marked here is bolted

Traverse in from climber's left to avoid using the tree to downclimb.<br>

The rope pull is clean with little friction. The rope only contacts the rock at the edge of the dropoff (where this photo was taken).<br>

The old tree anchor is just to the right.
