On the same pillar to the right of Hanging Chad, this line tackles a series of underclings and sidepulls on smooth hatchet flakes. Walk up on the berm right of Hanging Chad into the dihedral base to start. Pull a few stem moves then angle left below a roof, ascending to a short headwall where the bolt line forces you to double back right for a few moves to the anchor. 

  The first bolt is inconveniently placed farther left than seems logical, but, unfortunately, the rock is questionable where the bolt would be ideal. Short climbers should get their tall rope gun to hang the draw or stick clip it. 

  Please help extend the life of the Euro-anchor by rapping.

Hatchet Job

Hanging Chad

Don't let the short stature of the initial crag climb fool you, without the proper commitment to first 10' you will indeed be...hanging chad. The route sports weird features and spooky sounds--a worthy gateway to the Land of Shadows.

This is the area right where the trail meets the cliff.
