Viser Chimney

FA unknown
CREATED 
UPDATED 

Description

Long ignored, but deserving more attention. The chimney can be climbed mostly as a straight in crack. The crux is some steep face climbing getting into the chimney.

When I was on this some very large rocks peeled off near the start. It is cleaner now, but requires some thin insecure face moves that are very hard to protect. There is a shallow cam placement on the left side but the rock is soft there. I was considering adding a bolt. If you climb this let me know if you think it is needed.

Location

right side of the Visor, about 50' west of the snow closure gate near Snow Creek parking lot.

Protection

standard rack to 2". bolted anchor is for the Visor about 15' to the left, you can place a cam in a crack above the big ledge for a directional to bring up the 2nd. No chains , bring sling or walk off, or access routes above.
