BETA PHOTO: Totem Pole (5.7), as seen from road. Route ascends...


Description 

OK climbing, nothing to write home about.

Ascend chimney, flake, establish belay at bolt, flake, etc. Move left around corner, up second chimney - big pro if you got it - (Note - some rate this section as 10b!), climb face to top.


Location 

Route begins immediately above guardrail.


Protection 

Standard rack. Large cam for second chimney. Anchors (manky in '02).

There is now a bomber bolt & chain anchor on the summit. One rap with a single 60m cord will get you to the ground on the SE side. The rock quality, especially in the opening chimney, is not quite up to the standard of the rest of the pins.
