Description
Unlisted in the most recent edition of Swartling and Mayer this chimney/gully seemed like an obvious natural line and was most likely ascended in the days before recorded history and then wisely forgotten.
Easier, low-angle climbing with excellent rests leads to a steeper crux near the top. That crux involves a disconcerting reach-and-step to the right to attain the final slab that guards the route's finish.
A muddy, horizontal hand jam between a large boulder and the dirt beneath makes the final move to the belay more comfortable.
Location
In the middle of Poison Ivy Wall. Just left of Portrait Corner.
Protection
A set of stoppers and a set of cams (.4-4 C4).
