Jessica at the Pitch 3 Belay as seen from the bolt on the traverse.

We were across the way on Group Therapy. This looked like a really cool pitch.

The wide section at the start of pitch 4.

Brett on p5 of Purblind Pillar

Deb starting the crack of P4. Pretty wide in places!

The start of the easy, straightforward descent (walk-off) of Purblind Pillar.

The Purblind Pillar route on the Angel Food Wall. Photo taken on 21 Oct 06. Numbered circles show anchor locations described in the route topo. Anchor 1 is a sling setup and Anchor 4 has two bolted hangers. All other anchors must be built with gear.

The 6th pitch. The first bolt is just above the top of the brown patch on the left.

Cool arch near the base of the Purblind Pillar.

View upwards towards pitch 2. If you can’t see the bolt near the skyline about 40 feet above you when looking for an anchor position for pitch 1, keep climbing.

One of the many beautiful views you get when climbing Purblind Pillar.

I've moved across the beautiful ledge to the water/groove crack system, as I started up the fun pitch 3.<br>

The rope flips up nicely, as you move higher up the pitch.<br>

Riding the surfboard belay on the Pillar

We were on Group Therapy and I took this picture of some unknown climbers.

The "elephant trunk" belay area at the top of pitch 3. The sling in this photo is a 240cm so its...a big hunk or rock! Awesome belay area if you stand to the right of the pass through in the rock.
