Approach: Semi detached Pillar joined to J.Rabba just behind Chupchik, from the field school. The chimney starts 20m left of spring (grass, bushes etc) Up crack (III) to wider beautiful chimney (IV+). Traverse right with good hand-holds just below chockstone (IV), then right of chockstone and left to same chimney , then to top. Top section of chimney can be avoided by easier cracked blocks on right. Classic chimney in the area!!! Descent: Easy but loose descent by chimney to left side of the Pillar.
