The left of two large chimney climbs located 300' left of the North End cracks. |
A classic New England runnel climb with an alpine ambience. Steep, unrelenting, with many complex and committing sections.
Pitch 1: Climb the runnel to a 2-bolt belay at a ledge on the left.
Pitch 2: Pull over an often thin curtain (crux) into the narrow runnel. Follow the runnel to a belay on the left.
Pitch 3: Step right, climb a curtain and follow the ice up to a large chockstone. Pass the chockstone on the left (crux) and belay in the trees.
