East Chimney is a steeper, technical alternative to Homestretch that's most likely ignored by most people traversing across the Narrows.

Scramble up on good ledges and flakes that feature an abundance of positive holds. The easiest line most likely trends to the left as the chimney tightens up and the right hand side wall rises well above you, taking on the appearance of stacked sandbags.

Top out at the summit plateau, and walk the few hundred feet to the true summit.

Skyscraper

Skyscraper is a summit route that makes a good alternative to Homestretch. For those comfortable moving on such terrain, it can actually be quicker than continuing west to Homestretch, if you're coming from the east.
