Up the right chimney easy first two pitches, then 2 pitches more difficult (5) to on easy traverse left into the larger upper chimney . Good climbing (IV-) to the chockstone. Round this on the left (V+) then more easilly(2 pitches) except for long step right, to big ledges at the top.

(from logbook): First repetition Micky hochstatter, Danny Wolfenstein Apr. '77, then Danny Edelstein, Doggy Davidowitz '78 (comment: Route is becoming classic in the area, a better descent is on the left, see picture back of the page). (Note: at the beginning of 3rd pitch there is a misleading piton)
