Description
P1: Diagonal up trending rightward to a short vertical crack. Follow the path of least resistance, eventually targeting the large, obvious hole in the face. (Its true nature will not be revealed until you are directly in line with it.) Belay at a bolted station with a quick-lower setup at the left end of a substantial ledge leading to the entrance to the chimney. P2: Traverse rightward along the easy ledge to gain the "chimney". Grovel up a short, more-or-less vertical section (crux) to enter the tunnel. (It's 3rd/4th class from here to the top).Belay at a large chockstone about 75' up the ramp (other options exist). P3: 3rd class to the top.
The scramble-off is a bit labyrinthine, but it's there. Suss it out. 4th class (at the most), if you find the correct descent.
