Another Zinger

Description

Shimmy up until you feel like placing the #6 C4. A short while later, sling a less-than-inspiring chockstone and take on off up the wide. A #2 C4 can be placed shortly after in another chockstone flare, but then you have a ways on the crux where you have to choose between breathing and moving up vs. staying plugged in. Run it out to a nice sling on chockstones in a chimney after you merge with Cinammon Rose. Either a #0.3 or a #0.75 can protect the final chockstone move to the anchors. I recommend against tunneling deeper in the chimney for this as the rope drags across the chockstone in a nasty way.

Location

This is the next route right of Cinnamon Rose, and the two intersect for the final 15-20 ft of chimneying.

Protection

1x#0.3, #0.75, #2, #6 C4, opt. VG12 if you don't want this to be R-rated, 1 long sling to sling a chockstone, 1 quickdraw for another sling on a chockstone.
