Description
What an amazing feature. You can literally spot it from miles away. It is a shame it is almost always wet and therefor filthy.
A wide chimney/dike slashing through the otherwise unbroken wall. This bold climb stands out as the dominant feature on the intimidating summit cliff.
I have yet to climb it due to the endless wetness but to say the climbing would be spectacular if it was clean and dry would have to be a statement of truth. Looking right while climbing one of the adjacent routes you can get a great view of the climb, it's rusty pins and lack of too much in the way of protection. After leading The Path of the Righteous it would be possible to traverse right to a bolt and possibly other directional pro to TR the route. I would love to clean it and lead it one day but until then I will settle for what I can get.
Location
Climb the start of the 5.7 to the tree ledge. then if you can't find the route see an eye doctor haha.
Protection
rotted out pins and gear, lots of loose rock & wet moss, bolt at the top. finish on the anchors of Path of the Righteous (I think). Lead not recommended until cleaned and retroed
