It's all just an approach to the bar. Spur of the moment alpine FA, made with Adam Fisher. Done while camping at the Chimneys area of Burly Mountain in the Elk Range of Colorado. After scrambling up a choss ramp, this takes one of two prominent fin aretes to the top of the chimneys. Done in two pitches, with plenty of frightening choss, routefinding, runouts, and great movement to be found along the way. Did it in mountaineering boots, with a not quite adequate selection of gear to say the least. This is actually a good climb that would be worth the approach for, and after cleaning some loose rock and bringing a full rack would probably not be R rated.
