Description Dirty chimney and offwidth. This is the obvious corner system that goes under the large roof on the left side. If you like the great chockstone on Crescent buttress this might be the route for you. Still, not a 'bad' route if you know what you're getting into.
Protection Trad rack.
Pitch three- slightly better than it looks... mayb...

| Four pitches of chimneys and offwidths, what's not to like? Probably not worth a trip to Bells, but a worthwhile outing if in the area. |

| Great route, especially for the grade. Worthy of a trip into Bells by itself, IMHO. |

| I agree with Brian... It's worth the trip by itself... Just make sure you tail your pack. Or better yet, don't take a pack at all. The final pitch--coming out the roof has sweet exposure and moves! |

| Did this route a few years ago and despite the offwidth nature of the route I had a great time. Excellent positions and exposure on the final pitch. I dropped my helmet at the top and watched it roll into the abyss so if you find a red Edelrid consider it a gift. I also thought this climb was a great experience- get on it! |

| Found your helmet at the top of the second pitch! I would offer to return it, but my partner has it and I couldn't tell you where she is now! |

| Outstanding! I hope she can use it, I thought the forces of that fall would have rendered it useless. Thanks for the update, climb safe~ |

| Given sfotex’s description, I now know to avoid the Great Chokestone. Pitch two was a bit tight for my jeans- clearly it wasn’t designed for an inflexible lank like me. Pitch three was surprisingly decent and pitch four started off fantastic (wow, the roof!) but quickly devolved into the expected grovel. Despite the heft, a #4 C2 was well appreciated, especially at the roof. Mostly worth the hike. |
