chimneys
Brick smoke passages
Chimneys is the plural of chimney—vertical structures that vent smoke and gases from fireplaces, furnaces, or industrial processes.
A house may have multiple chimneys for different heating sources.
In climbing, a chimney is a narrow vertical cleft in rock that a climber ascends by bracing against opposite walls: We chimneyed up through a gap in the cliff face.
