| We did this by starting it on Southwest Passage (5.8) then up through the chimney on the right. The crack itself is off-width. Good place for pro above your head as you start the main system, but you will need the "big stuff" later towards the end or you'll be scooting and praying to the top. |

| stoubie is so right on. the final haul is difficult to protect and you might find yourself run out to the finish. |
