Ancient Art and it's various summits; the corkscrew summit (aka "Stolen Chimney") is the leftmost summit |

Stolen Chimney: Following the pebbled face on the first pitch; the climbing is a little bouldery, and the protection is all drilled angle pitons |
|
 |
|
Stolen Chimney: Leading the corkscrew -- one of the wildest summits anywhere. The ropes are arched to the right due to strong winds |
|
Stolen Chimney: The second pitch (5.8); looks like mud, but is actually pretty nice rock with decent protection every 8 to 10 feet |

Stolen Chimney: Posing on the summit of the corkscrew |

Stolen Chimney: Pitons on the "sidewalk" belay; the rock around the drilled pitons has eroded |
