View halfway through the chimney. The notch on the left is where you exit to climb the face. If you miss this exit it is mandatory 5th class to get to the ridge.

The face after exiting the chimney. Sticking far right next to the chimney yields the best rock and least exposure.
This is the type of scrambling you'll be doing on the way up and more importantly on the way down. The flat spot with a few folks hanging out is the Eagle's Nest, a great spot for those who want a break or a turnaround point before the scrambling.
