Description

Nice cragging route if you want something else to do after Charlie Horse Needle; thin hands, pull a pod, finish on glory hands!

There are a few more anchors scattered around the CHN buttress but this route is the only worthwhile looking one I saw. The existing anchor seemed decent enough, I think I added chain, but can't remember for sure.

Route faces southwest.

Location

Southeast of Charlie Horse Needle. Can approach from the gully to the right (southeast) of CHN or from the base of CHN can loop around the ridge (a bit exposed but definitely just walking). From base of Simms-Hesse-Hanning route it's less than 5 minutes to get to.

Protection

Double rack of .75 to #3 and one #4 should do it. Maybe triples in hands.
