Description
This is a direct line variation to the last pitch of Honeymoon Chimney. After climbing the face pitch build a belay with the homemade hanger bolt and the finger crack next to it. Instead of continuing around the corner to the 5.8 corner pitch, climb directly up the easy handjams that quickly turn to a bulge with a tight finger crack that seams down into techy face climbing protected with a knife blade about 3/4 of the way to the top. The rock quality seems to deteriorate after the knife blade and makes for an interesting top out. If you have any info please share! Thought this was a good pitch to add a little extra pull hard and fear into a mega classic.
Location
Climb up the bolted pitch of Honeymoon chimney make the small traverse and the finger crack is right above.
