Description 

Highly sustained, technical column/tufa pipe climbing. Pumptastic! FEET, FEET, FEET! Think Euro and work the sidepulls/half laybacks until you can grope desperate for the chains.

Technical note: A hard leader fall will yank the belayer off and into any unsuspecting wankers climbing on KalyPige to the left. So make sure you clip into the belay bolt located on the boulder at the bottom. It probably won't roll over and crush anyone.

Location 

Extreme left side of Panorama, just left of the obvious Cigarillo, on top of the pedestal that stands above the last few lines in the Grand Grotto. Watch out for kicking rocks on the crowds below. Or? Or have some fun; pretend you're Thor, god of thunder.

Name is painted on wall.

Protection 

Twelve-ish bolts + two bolt anchor with two steel TR 'biners.
