Hard and requiring some guts to circumvent the roof. Up to a small ledge and then thinly to a groove. Rest. Go right to the overhang, under the rippled chimney; then go left (not right like the parent route Williams' Chimney) and through the break.

Blowing a gale. Got all flustered, messed up the overhang a few times then took a rest on the rope. Annoying as there's really only one hard move IMO. Now I'll have to do it cleanly ASAP.

grrr
JackMountains - Lead dnf - 15/Jul/06 with Ben Snook

Hung on to the overhang for about 10 mins trying to get a full set of nuts free from a crack. First shot at an E1!
