Rich and Dave Route 

not that great a route. did it today and thought that it kinda sucked. Who knows might change my mind as time goes by.

I've got to agree with that last comment. Climbed it for the first time today and was not all that impressed. I guess if you like chimneys...

Are you kidding? What's not to like, great rock, great exposure and fun climing (try steming the outside of the chimney and staying to the right). There is more to climbing then just simply "pulling down".

I agree with Jeff on this one. Run-out but classic!

Did it two days ago. Getting to the first bolt is classic old time adventure climbing. Finished on the bolted arete right of the chimney which was cool. Two raps down Mean Mistreater get you down.

I have to say that I loved this climb and believe it is a Tucson classic... I know I know I have nothing to say when it comes to "what is what" and no one will respect my opinion but, I really enjoyed leading this climb. From the high first bolt to the chimney I got to inch worm up I felt that it was classic climbing and would love more climbs like it.

I agree with Derek. Great climb with lots of variety, especially if you do the arete finish. A little spice on the first pitch too!

Don't let the first bolt scare you from this fun route. I did not find it to be difficult to reach, besides it could be stick clipped. The rest of the route was easy to protect (no run-outs). I recommend building the second belay station (is is a good location). The bolted finish starts when the chimney ends, it is a great way to end the route, and you can rap back down the wall using the Mean Mistreater anchors.

Did this yesterday- what a great route! I thoroughly enjoyed the climbing. Stellar rock, good gear, and a nicely exposed 2nd pitch. The crux getting into the chimney was fun too! The arete finish was great. An excellent climb!

Great route, lots of different techniques on this one, did it in one pitch to the Mean Mistreater anchors with a 70m.

fun route... finished the 2nd pitch through the chimney.. if you arent going for the arete theres a good boulder anchor to belay

Did the route last Sunday with David (guy above) I agree the route is fun, especially the last part through the narrow chimney. I'm pretty new to climbing and found some sections to be pretty challenging.
Be aware of the lack of anchors directly above the chimney. We had to use the anchors from the route on the right to rappel. There's only one chain and a bolt up there, at least that we could find. They are really close to the edge, so i would recommend carrying some small but long rope (we carried a 6mm x 30ft)to make an anchor before trying to get the rope through the chains for the rappel.

Or you could follow what the description says and walk back down to your packs. Many of the old trad routes have walk offs.

My thought exactly brick. I figured I'd sound cranky if I said it tho.

Hope I didn't come off cranky. He said he was new to climbing. I just wanted him to realize reading the descriptions can be helpful before and after climbing a route.

I know you can walk off this climb, but it will actually take forever when compared to rappelling. Still I guess you are right, the description says to walk off. I just thought it might be useful information for someone else.

Walking off is almost certainly faster than doing 2 rappels, I know my partner who chose to walk down rather than rap beat me to the bottom by a few minutes.
