Bottleneck Direct, 5.10a

6th Pitch- 45m- 5.8/ This is the namesake pitch for the route. Stem and chimney up the wide bottom portion of this obvious chimney. As it narrows to the bottleneck, make an exposed unprotected move right to latch onto a small sloping ledge on the right wall. Place gear in a crack up and right and make the crux move of the pitch by finger jamming up and into the solid, but slightly overhung, crack and follow it to the base of the next chimney (single piton with very small gear for belay). You will see bail tat where folks have stayed in the chimney too far up. Bottleneck Direct, 5.10a, 7 Pitches, Bottleneck Wall, Yamnuska, Canmore, Alberta, July, 2009
