Description

This is a route for the Vedauwoo fans. This absolutely stellar squeeze chimney starts all the way in the back of the cave. Jump start into an invert, and embrace the wideness. Yup, that's right, jump start! From here, worm your way inverted through the roof, pivot, squeeze your way up, and cop a good rest. Above this, it's easy chimneying with a little tough squeeze for the bigger folk near the top. It can and should be done as a boulder problem as well, and I think it is much better this way.... This is one of the best offwidths in the South Platte. The grade is very body size-dependent, favoring people with a smaller chest size.

Location

It is at Whiskey Rocks North. See the map on the main Whiskey Rocks page.

Protection

At least 3 pads if bouldering, if leading1x #6, 1-2x Valley Giant 9 or equivalent, optional Valley Giant 12 or equivalent. You can start the route untied and clip into the rope just after pulling the roof. There are chains up top! If doing it as a boulder problem, you can walk off with a 5th Class downclimb.
