This is the hardest part of the climb. "THE CHIMNEYS" the technique of climbing them is to wedge your body and create enough friction that you don't slide or fall back down. Most people stay out on the face or front of the rock till they just can't anymore. You can kind of see the upper person in the grey is now about to get into the chimney. There are approx 400 ft of chimney climbing. Yuck!! Yes, i cussed a few times.




Here are Josh, Jeff and my feet at the top of the second pitch. If you pay close attention to the bottom right corner of the picture you will see a cluster of bolders that is the canyon floor. The wall on the opposite side of the canyon is approx 280 ft tall. To kind of give you a perspective.
