Description
Small But Fancy is an alternate route to the right of Satori that features an awkward but interesting chimney. To start either rap down from the top of Satori or climb Satori from its base. If starting at the base of Satori climb through the first section to a prominent ledge then continue up the thin second section to a 2nd ledge. Note the obvious corner to your right; the base of this is your goal. Do a thoughtful traverse down and move right on some slab to the base (be careful, a fall here could involve a significant swing). Setup for the route at the belay anchors at the base of the chimney and follow the obvious corner past 3 bolts with steep, fun stemming. The route shares the rap chains over the brow at the top with Satori.
Note: this was led by Adam Volweiler using huge cams (Valley Giants) for protection before he installed the bolts.
Location
Either rappel from the top of Satori to the ledge or start at the base of Satori and climb about 2/3 of Satori to the ledge. Traverse right and aim for the chimney.
Protection
4 Bolts. Anchor has chains.
