UKC

22m. Climb the left-hand and wider of two chimneys, and gain the top of the huge block on the right. Pull up and left (crux), pass left of the small fir (not used), and climb the straight crack to a ledge. Either traverse left to a double bolt belay or, better, step right and climb direct to a higher double bolt belay.
