What's your favorite "adventure" chimney?

Post by toad857 »

The only way to hide from the heat is to go into the earth. I'm looking for suggestions on climbs that are similar to caver's route, if they exist..... something deep, dark, and easy. I did beachcomber recently, and that was great fun, too.

Where's the adventure?

Caver's is the best easy one I know of offhand. I'm also partial to Epigyne Crack at Brightside... go early and take a spider wand. Don't believe it's had a second ascent as yet. It's really good. Catholics Traverse at Dark Side looks cool and dank, that would likely be a 2nd ascent too. Quite a few at Chocolate Factory too... Easy Pickins (5.8-), Strongyloides (10a), and a new one Carlos Flores put up on the far right are somewhat air-conditioned squeezes too.

lol! or {insert name}'s mom...

What about Jungle Beat? The 3rd pitch of Day Tripping is good too... just go early. I also really liked Two Step at Long Wall, and it had some nice A/C goin on and an amazing topout belay zone... use the anchor on the thread to the left. PM shade there.

Cool 1st pitch only on JB, the rest is exposed and warmer as the sun comes around.

Between Different Strokes and Davincis left ear, at the Gallery, there is a chimney that looks clean enough inside to climb, dont know if anybody has tried it or not.

Gold Digger is wide cracks all the way, and faces North I think. We climbed it in cool autumn weather and I don't recall if there was a breeze coming out of the crack. Best of all, it's something like five short pitches.
