Occupied Campsite Rule In Effect! MORE INFO >>>

Description 

A nice chimney with fair protection. It gets its name from the fact that you climb a short chimney/flake on the left, then traverse right into the upper half of the more obvious chimney. Rappel off from the top.


Location 

This route is on the southwest face of Old Woman. It is the first major crack system to the right of Double Cross.


Protection 

Gear to 4 inches.
