Three ChocolatiersWith Wayne A. from Alaska. We warmed up on the Black Pearl and then ticked off the last remaining route I had yet to climb on the Brownstone Walls. Not spectacular by any means, but does offer two long and sustained 5.9+ pitches with half of that being on black varnish. The 5.10a pitch is not worth doing unless you are as obsessed with climbing it all as I am. You can still rap (tree) from the top of the 5.10 pitch and catch Ten Minute Shift on down vs walking off. Route needs serious bush/crack cleaning.
