This climb is quite fun. It can be led with trad gear, the first ascent was done with trad gear, but it was very challenging to place any gear because of the way the chimney is, so we bolted it. The sandstone quality isn't too bad.

Santas Chimney

Something Sharp Like Knives

After the second bolt you transition to the left side of the climb over to some small ridges fun and slabby.

This is an area full of very interesting rock formations. The rocks are full of different textures of very hard grippy sandstone. There are plenty of large boulderfeilds that can make navigation hard. I hope to see more routes here and maybe some boulders in the future.
