Start on a right angling ramp that starts near the left side of the East Face. Traverse across this to the first of four bolts. Climb straight up past this to the third bolt, then traverse up and right (slightly run out) to the fourth and last bolt right below the top. Bolt anchor about 15' above this that is equipped with links and rings for rappelling.

The route beings with vertical face past several horizontals (gear to 1.5") to a step left into a long right-slanting hand crack. Midway up the crack step right a bit and employ a combination of crack and face climbing which leads one to a large ledge with bolted anchors.

This is an often overlooked route that is on par with some of the more popular Hidden Valley classics that often have a line of people on them. If you haven't done this climb check it out - you may be pleasantly surprised.

Climb the discontinuous crack system about 10' right of The Flue.  Start up a few face moves to a right-slanting crack, then up a vertical flare.  Climb through the crux bulge via the flare and face holds, then up easier terrain through discontinuous shallow cracks to finish at the bolt anchor atop The Flue.

This fun variation connects the start of The Flue to the upper section of Flue Right.

Begin with the start of the Flue, up to a bulge. Traverse right, under the bulge, until you can face climb straight up, connecting to the right-leaning crack which is the upper section of Flue Right.

This fun route lies on the east face (backside) of Chimney Rock a short ways to the right of

The Flue

(5.8). It sports 4 good protection bolts with supplemental protection in a series of horizontal cracks.

Not to be confused with "Flue Right" (5.10b R/X).

Fun and delicate face climbing leads to a 2 bolt rap anchor (shared with The Flue).
