Description
Pilsner Pillar is one of the most famous free-standing pillars in the Rockies! Climb 40 m of dead vertical ice, and then head right to a bolted station at the top of the first pitch. The ice might be three-dimensional candlestick or it could be a smooth, solid sheet. One never knows how it's going form.
Most parties call it good after the first pitch, but if you want the full-value experience, continue up the gully where you can find up to 4 more pitches of easier ice.
Don't even think about getting on this route unless you are certain about avalanche conditions!
