Description 

Big, dirty chimney. Nice hidey hole for your belayer to duck into to get out of rockfall danger. Bring your adventure hat.

Location 

Huge chimney just south of Chain Reaction in The Dihedrals.

Protection 

Big gear. Couple bomber placements in the larger hex size as well as great 1-4 BD cams, though you might be wishing you'd brought bigger. Single bolted belay which you can skip and head straight for the top with a 60 meter rope.
