A bit of an awkward and uncomfortable start leads to a technical crux and then another powerful crux under the roof. Felt at least .11b to me.

Very soft and probably overrated extremely well protected sport .10. A lot of next to perfect rests between moves.

Bring a long 48" sling, #1 red and #2 yellow C4 + one shoulder sling, and a cordelette to toprope Harding's Other Chimney and Candyass.

An interesting start with a couple of thin moves and a boring straightforward soft finish.

Note, the bolt is very rusty and probably need a replacement.

Some very interesting moves up the initial crack with bad feet below, including at time a very high right foot. Definitely a cruxy sequence. Then a 2nd thin-holds crux around the first bolt. Very happy to get this clean first try.

Bolts out left of the top are difficult to see. My route-finding failed me and I managed to ascend the chimney before moving left to the last bolt. Looked like 1/4" bolts. Great moves, if a bit scary. Another one of those "5.9"s.

Very soft. Left variation is a good liebacking exercise. Right variation is much softer (probably .8).

To make it a little bit harder and more interesting climb it in approach shoes. I was unable to use some footholds with my Five Ten Guide Tennies so I smeared thru the crux. It was fun.
