Probably, I remember (~3yrs last time) using big stuff for the first part, then horizontals (tricams 'n smaller flex cams) the rest of the way. It's basically a flared chimeley so the further back you go, the smaller the gear. Don't worry though, it's a chimeley and noone falls out of a chimeley. Pretty short pitch too.

I think this thread was about good tang that people have had over the years, not about climbing.

You guys are terrible. That's fine-- I didn't want to know what a chimeley was, anyway.

I bet it has something to do with good tang.

Yup, sounds about right.
