The Corridor

The Corridor is a fabulous squeeze chimney traverse through the center of the Dungeon. The rock is smooth and gentle. It is great for learning, warming up, or just having fun.

A climber can escape most of the route by stepping down and walking out; however, at the north end, the chimney constricts and, depending on personal girth, may require either twisting sideways or climbing higher.

Find the southernmost entrance to the west side of the Dungeon (aka

Life Without Parole

). Duck into the hole. Start about one foot north of the starting handjams on

Life Without Parole

. Climb north. Finish on boulders just south of the Warden alcove.

Pads don't fit, neither do spotters. The ground is flat; however, it might be good to have a partner in case you get stuck at the north exit. For the last eight feet or so, the constriction at ground level is too tight for normal-sized adults.
