Though it is possible to climb Pipe Cleaner as one VERY long pitch, I find it preferable to climb it as 2 pitches. There is a comfortable belay ledge at mid-height that offers an exceptional position on the wall.<br> <br> In this photo, Michael & Marina McKay enjoy the view from the belay ledge atop the first pitch of Pipe Cleaner.
Pipe Cleaner (5.6) is located just right of the platform. Easily done in 1 loooong pitch. Don't forget to bring 2 ropes for rappin'.
I used a BD .4 and 2 for a hanging belay at the bottom of pipe cleaner.

My carabiner won't fit on this BIG bolt next to Pipe Cleaner (5.6)! Maybe if someone would add a hanger to it.
