Description

This tower lies to the west and slightly north of Hillbilly Pillar about 150 yards. The routes (except for Bad Shine which is on the east face) are on the North face on some very suspect rock, but does have one excellent route on very good rock.

The entire crag is basically sport bolted, some routes with semi-high first bolts. 6 Quick draws will gain you the summit of every route except for the Crack (Route C) which apparently takes gear. MussyHooks or closed shuts at the top of each route. It is recommened you bring quick draws for the anchors if TR'ing the routes to reduce wear. Assuming this crag ever gets any play.

Getting There

From Pauls Paradise, scramble up either to the right of Hillbilly Pillar and through a small canyon heading north-ish or walk around left of those formations and then cut north 150 yards past Hillbilly Pillar. Very short approach, like 5 minutes.
