Description

Stemthrashworm your way skyward choosing your holds wisely as you cheese-grater your way to the top. When she opens up take a full breath (your first in 20 or so feet) then 3rd class your way to your reward - the delightful apex of the aptly named Temple.If you took a box of Cornflakes™, mixed it with a box of Rice Krispies™, crumbled up a few packages of Twix™, put them in a large bowl and poured Elmer's™ glue over them and stirred it all up, then glued them together to create a chimbley-like affair and let it harden for a few seconds, then you'd have an exponentially better quality of rock to climb on than you will find in The SE Chimbley. I may be mistaken, but I don't believe I've ever given a bomb to a route here before, but this one rates.But, please, don't let me dissuade you. Everyone (not just climbers, either) should have a similar experience at least once in their life.

Location

On the NE face at the SE end of the formation where it turns back to become the SW face.

Protection

You could and should, but I wouldn't hang all my bacon on it.
