The Priest

Southeast face of The Priest as seen from the summit of The Rectory. The tower is ~350-400 feet tall. Honeymoon Chimney route comes up from the west side. The crux involves either a wide stem (11-) between the main tower and the subsidiary summit or a bolt ladder. Also note that the triangular, dark chimney down lower is where pitch 1 of Honeymoon Chimney ends (though it tunnels thru. from the opposite side). For different perspectives see here and here. Colorado River is in the far background.
