Description Suggest change

NOTE: This was the closest area I could find to fit this climb. I request it get better sorted by someone who knows the area better. That said, this is a nice, albeit chossy, "pillar" (a loose use of the word) that gets great exposure. Make sure your belayer has a helmet, or is ready to dodge rocks!

Climb through one semi-difficult move across into the dihedral, then continue up the face of the pillar on nice moves. It gets a bit dicey at a wide horizontal between bolts, where the choss seemed to concentrate.

It is a great climb, and with some more traffic it could clean up nicely.

Location Suggest change

Park in the Grotto wall lot and walk up the road to where the trees start to reappear. Scramble up the talus and walk along the wall until you hit bolts.

Protection Suggest change

[9-10] draws if I remember correctly.... Closed cold shuts at the top, bring some long draws for the bottom.
