Use the chains for Jackhammer for this one. This route is an eliminate climb in that you need to avoid stemming left onto the the Carrot to get the enjoyable arête climbing, with a sweet high-step move at about three quarter height that will make you smile. If you stem out to the left the climb is called The Brain of K and is 5.8+ and is a really fun climb. The chains are easily accessible for a TR without leading the route.
