We got our asses kicked by the RD on Sunday, but man what a great way to finish a route! We went from being dog tired to laughing our a$$es off watching each other squeeze through the tunnel.

Here is my buddy Mark from below the chimney, and then from the other side of the hole:

oh man, I was swearing up a storm the first time I went through that damn thing!

So the next time I set out to find a way around it. I hate to deny anyone the experience of the tunnel through, but if you're claustrophobic like me you can step out of the chimney and go to the left instead of going through.
Obviously this doesn't work if you're the follower.

You can see it pretty well in the 4th photo above.

Yeah, I figured as much, but if I ever get anyone to go up there with me again, I'm sending them through the tunnel just the same. It was just too funny :^)
