The Chimney Route

The Chimney route, on Faisal's Finger, outside Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

A short scramble up the first step to the base of the chimney. Easy climbing up the chimney. At the top of the chimney there's an exposed traverse to the left. From there it's easy climbing on loose rock up to the notch. From the notch you can travers down and to the left then up the crack system to the top, or go straight up. From the summit down climb towards the notch, then take a short rappel back into the notch. From the notch use two ropes to rappel back to the base.
