International Chimney, 2 Pitch 5.6 (the second pitch is harder!).
As you enter the open 2-3 gully, follow the faint trail up and left (away) from where you entered.
Pitch1: At the base of the chimney head straight up and in over blocks and bulges. At about 30 feet up take the second right into a 6 foot wide crystal filled chimney. Follow this for another 130 feet to a two bolt anchor. Take plenty of long slings and gear to protect the pitch.
Pitch 2: From the anchor head through the hall, away from spire 2. At the end there is a ledge. Back up, stem up on the rocks, place a small nut or cam in a short crack, then gingerly throw yourself in a wide (body sized down to #4 Camalot) crack that leads to a little roof, then an exposed face to the summit. Beautiful summit!
1st rap: One rope off the summit anchors down to the hallway and the bolts at the top of the first pitch
2nd rap: Two ropes from the anchor bolts to the ground.
Gear: Small to # 4 camalot, plenty of long slings.
Warning: Rock Climbing can be dangerous. Use this information at your own risk.
