Description 

Chivalry is a good route that is just to the right of the Shittier, or two routes to the right of Balance. Look for a line of hangers snaking up the face, just at the apex of where the trail to the Pinnacle scrambles across a narrow and exposed ledge. The route gets a PG-13 rating ‘cuz you wouldn’t want to blow the first clip'. Well, no one should consider using a stick clip; just figure out how to do the move. Once the first bolt is clipped, launch up into a difficult mantle that makes for the mental crux of the route. Afterwards regain your composure on the face, and delicately ascend past 4 or so more bolts to a set of anchors. Enjoy!


Protection 

8 quick-draws should certainly suffice. Maybe take a single locker for the first bolt if that makes you more comfortable.
