Description
Good route for begining leaders, as the moves are secure and there is ample opportunity for protection. The amount of chipmunk crap alone makes this route unpleasant, however. It literally reaks of crap.
Climb the East bench Dihedral to reach the slot between the first pinacle and the East bench. move as far left as possible between the East Bench and the First Pinacle without leaving the chimney. Climb upward into a vague concave area with a few intermittent cracks. Continue to the summit on big holds.
Descend by scrambling West and then North or by rapping from one of the several fixed anchors up top.
