This big beauty lies just to the right of the

Climb and Punishment

alcove and splits the entire SW face of Reynolds Hill.

P1. Begin in a large, right-facing recess, and climb through some cracks and fins for about 40 feet. A bail sling here offers your last option for retreat. Fight and squirm through the bulging slot (5.9) until the angle eases. Run it out for about 50 feet of 5.8 chimney. A cool exit move through a handcrack in a headwall deposits you on a shelf to belay (140 feet). This classic pitch defines 5.9 wide climbing at the Woo!

P2. A short and easy 50 feet pitch takes you to the top.

A convoluted walk off/ downclimb takes you to the rear of the formation then contours back around to the front.

Protection

Rack up to a #6 Friend with doubles in the #2-#4 sizes. A #4-#5 Big Bro and knee pads could be useful in the runout chimney.
