Rad alpine chimney

Since I know we're all jonesin' to do some scratchin' around:  GIV or Haystack, you make the call.

Gonna tell us where yet?

That grotty chimney on Mt Si's haystack.  The worse the storm, the better the climbing.

Agreed! The experience is everything... unless it's raining.

That's a true f'n statement!

Ha! I tried this thing years ago on a cold winter day. When the chimney narrows above the chock stone I moved out on to the face just left, pulled off a hold and went for a wild ride. I’m ended up inverted over the chock stone.😬

my partner and I bailed and ended up climbing the nice hand crack a few hundred feet left of the chimney to a bolted anchor. Much better than the chimney.
