Back Side

After hiking past Side Effects we couldn't help to want to climb the chimney behind of the formation.  Like much of Moderate Mecca, the rock is soft and loose.  Scramble up into the interesting chimney.  There are plenty of face holds and the chimney makes the route feel very secure.  Climb up the rock face using an abundance of holds and top out on the upper tier.  We took a rack and rope just because we didn't know what we were getting our self into but ultimately didn't place any gear because the climbing is so secure.  Its easy 5th class at best.  This aint no Joe Herbst chimney!The chimney is filled with rocks.   Careful knocking stuff down.

Behind of Side Effects there is an obvious chimney.  Start to the left of the formation as looking at the wall.

None or light rack
