Chockstone Corner Direct, 5.10a

6th-7th Pitches- 60m- 5.8/ The 6th pitch is the most confusing. I went straight up from the pitons and traversed right on run out (harder than the grade) face climbing. Instead, move right at the base of the wall along the slab several more meters and angle up easier ground until you can venture into the large gully of sorts below the chimney pitches. Continue up this easy gully until you hit a steep wall with corners on either side (start of 7th pitch). Take the right side corner (5.8) for some fun steep climbing that lands you in the base of the chimney. This belay can be had with a .3” and/or 4” piece of gear at the very edge without going in the chimney.
