20m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
1) 5a, 10m. Excellent. Climb the steep, green and awkward groove in the left wall of Fat Man's Chimney to a good stance.
2) 5a, 10m. The steep cracks above lead to a ledge on the left and a technical finish back right. Full value for the grade. © Rockfax

FA. Alf Bridge, I.M.Waller, J.L.Longland 1930. Left unrecorded for 15 years due to its difficulty!.

βeta: Does this use the pockets (first pitch)? if so than it was a stiff solo. if not than there is a nice route using the pockets and ledge to top (no boulder !) Nate 17 july 06 solo
