Description 

Gothic Pillar is a nice 5.6 climb at Comales, with enough features to make it beginner- and kid-friendly.

Start right of an alcove/indentation in the rock. Gear is kind of funky or hard to find for the first 20', which may wig out some leaders; but soon enough you reach a crack in a left-facing corner below a tiny pine "tree". Follow this crack, and the pillar it forms, up past the tree and to a low-angled featured face above.

Location 

The second route with an anchor from the right end of Water Wall. Look for a tiny tiny pine tree.

Protection 

Nuts and cams to 2"; 2-bolt anchor with chains at the top.
