Route 1. II, 3.  Follow the Quinault River trail 9.5 miles from the road end and locate the abandoned trail on the N edge of Pyrites Creek.  Follow this faint trail NW 1.5 miles toward the head of the valley.  Camp can be made at timberline on the easternmost tributary of Pyrites Creek, 4 hours from the Quinault River trail.  Climb above timberline and cross through the 5900-ft pass just E of Peak 6049.  Drop about 1000 ft to where an easy but long traverse can be made to the central snowfield of Chimney’s SW face, staying below several rock rib s. Climb the 40-degree snowfield to gain the S ridge just below the summit, and continue to the top.  Time: 6 hours up from camp.
