5.6 chimney?

You mention the 5.6 chimney variation (instead of the 5.8 one mentioned by J. Smoot) directly below the summit? where was it? As you climb up the 5.6 flake to the ledge from which the 5.8 chimney starts,(you'd traverse the ledge 20 or so feet leftwards for that chimney) where is the 5.6 chimney located relative to this ledge?

I'm asking this since I'd prefer to avoid the 5.8 one on my next climb of Prusik. I really didn't see it.

thanks.

Re: 5.6 chimney?

Its around the right corner, so once you finish the 5.6 flake, walk right on the ledge, even though it seems like you might walk off the ledge, and the chimney will reveal itself. Much easier way up 8-)
