Bottleneck Direct, 5.10a

7th Pitch- 45m- 5.8/ The crux of this pitch is the combination of the stem/chimney moves required to get into and progress in the chimney at the beginning which can be protected by slinging a large chockstone. After that the climbing gets quite a bit easier. Towards the top, you get to do a fun squeeze through the top of the chimney to reach Yamnuska’s ridge . Gear belay on top.
