Description 

You're gonna have to learn to do this stuff eventually.

'Can O' Worms' is the rightmost of the troika of dead-obvious splitters on the Golden Gloves/Precious Orr wall. It's also the widest--a chimney-- and the least traveled. It is nonetheless a worthwhile climb, if perhaps not that often. It seems like the ability to move gracefully through chimneys is a dying art,but this doesn't have to be the case. You might want to save this one for the cooler months, in long pants.

Old schoolers will find the 5.8 rating a touch soft. YMMV.

Protection 

The pro ain't all that great, in the classic manner of chimbleys, but it's also classically hard to fall out of. Some wide stuff is handy.
