approach sketch to new route: "Engagement", on the Serial Pillar, West Fork Wall, in relation to Into the Wild, and Grapes of Wrath.<br> Rough directions:<br> After the 3rd creek crossing on the Call of the Canyon trail, head west on a faint trail through the ferns. Find the weakness in the slickrock of the SECOND spur (small cairn), ascend the slickrock band, which leads to another faint trail that contours, crosses the draw, and switchbacks up the hill. It eventually contours the loose hillside level with the route and to its base.
Serial Pillar, West Fork Wall, Oak Creek Canyon, N.AZ. New Route, "The Engagement", engages chimney and crack systems on the right side of the series of pillars. Pitches 3-6 shown in photo. Finishes up the wide window pitch on the left side of the pillar. On top I proposed to my fiancee, Angela. FFA, 5/28/11
