Scramble the large chimney on the north side of the south buttress ridge. The left side of the chimney has good holds, the side is smooth and mossy. No gear was placed during the first ascent.

One Time Chimney

Tom & Gary

As you walk out onto the northern most of the two buttresses you will come to madrone (stump?) and bolt anchor used for setting up a rappel and toprope. Caution: 70 feet is a wild guess for the height.

 Refer to Rock Climbing Western Oregon, Vol. 2: Umpqua Map page 66-65, Topo Ah page 162. 

These are the two prominent buttresses that stick out just south of Brittsan Rock. Tom & Gary (5.8) is located on the north side of the first ridge with One Time Chimney (5.5) on the north side of the second (southern) of the two ridges. These are two of the original first ascents in the Callahans. Once the trees grew to shade these two buttresses they became over grown. They are now back in full sun and maybe worth while project areas if access if ever restored to the area.
