Description
This is the bolt ladder located on the west side of Willit Pillar. The first bolts are all bomber and in good shape. A few button heads in the middle of the route, but finishes with solid bolts all the way up. Have to bust a few easy free moves to get from the bottom section to the upper section. For a fun finish, skip the last two bolts and mantel up on the good hold to the right.
Protection
Bolt ladder. 18 quick draws needed if not back cleaning. No rivet hangers needed as of October 2021. If soloing, set bottom anchor using 2 nuts and #4 camalot. There are rappel anchors on top (to rappel off the back of the rock), but if you have to rappel the route to clean gear be aware that it is a huge pain to pull the rope from that angle.
