Chimney of Karma

P1: From the road climb the lower portion of Left Buddha (5.8, left side onto the "left Buddha" or "left tower"). From the base of the left Buddha traverse slightly left using slings around trees as protection. As you traverse left and up you will come to a narrow chimney that forms between the left and middle "towers". Follow the chimney to summit protecting with larger cams to 5 inches. Rappel >100 feet from summit to road or a shorter rappel to trees on backside. No chains. Refer to Rock Climbing Western Oregon, volume 2: Umpqua, Orton (ed) 2007.  Topo B page 222.

Maps 2 and 3 pp. 218-219.
