Description The Chauvinist has a hard start for 5.8.
P1 - starts below Left Ski Track in a short dihedral. Climb straight up a steep and flared crack to easy face climbing just left of Left Ski Track to Left Ski Track 2 bolt belay.
P2 - Climb up to a pin, then open to face climbing with 3 bolts to a easy crack that lead to the top.
Protection Pro to 2.5 inches

| The pin on pitch 2 is gone now, but it protects well with a medium stopper. |

| The start is definately scary for 5.8 - make sure your belayer pros to the rock. But this is a fun route, well worth doing, and a nice mix of crack and face climbing. I thought route finding was a little difficult to start the second pitch as the bolts are hard to see from where the crack runs out. |

| Does anyone know what the line that leads directly above the P2 bolted belay is? Climbed up a couple bolts of this before I realized it was not 5.8 and I was off route... |

| That's pitch 2 of the Feminist (5.11-) done by Erik Roed a few years ago. It's located between The Heathen and The Chauvanist, and joins The Heathen's third pitch at its last bolt (5 bolts total) ending at The Heathen's bolt anchor. (100 ft rap to Ski Tarcks/Chavanist anchor.) |

| Thanks Bob!
FYI, if heading up this, bring a wrench for the second bolt. Cool terrain. |
