Description
This can be a tight chimney climb depending on your attack strategy. We had some success facing towards and away from the center rock with climbers of various sizes. You can either finish around the front or continue in and out the top.
Called "The Helmet Clamp" because of its squeeze-y nature. Wear a helmet!
