Honeymoon Chimney

Shirley at the belay atop P3 of Honeymoon Chimney. The “ledge” is more uncomfortable than it seems in this shot (quite slopy). Anchor consists of one very sh..ty bolt, one mystery fixed piece (you mostly see slings coming out of the crack) and whatever trad gear you can stick in (#4 C4 cam and yellow Alien did it for us). Pitch 4 (last pitch) starts by traversing this ledge leftward. There’s a direct (straight up) finish variation pitch which is rated 10-ish I think (Feb. 5, 2005).
