I keep trying to put the fact that it's almost Labor Day out of my mind. Unfortunately it simply keeps creeping back in. This has been such a nice summer, for a change, that I simply don't want it to end. Usually I try to pick one activity to do for the summer and pound it out, and for many years that was climbing. For the past several it's been riding the bike, but as my son Lewis has gotten older, I find myself wanting to do lots of different things. Mainly because he doesn't seem to want to focus on any single one. Does that sound familiar? Let's face it, very few 10 year olds throw all of their energy into a single activity.

The Chimney -
5.5
It's called a chimney, tho it doesn't narrow down until you get right to the top. Very popular with beginning leaders and groups as it's easy to set up as a toprope. Great climbing at a moderate grade.
Climbers seem to forget that we said in our introduction that there were simply '50 classic routes', not 'the 50 classics'. We chose 50 from a list of about 120. Only a torturer will ever pry loose from our lips the names of those other 70 classics...

Climbing is a very dangerous sport. You can get hurt or even kill yourself. When you go climbing, you do so of your own free will. Everything on this site is to be taken with a grain of salt. Don't blame us if you get up some totally heinous route, in over your head and fall and hurt yourself.
