Yeah, you and I started that route Nate, Remember you did the first aid pitch and I did the Offwidth to the cave. Then my rope spent a winter up there till todd and troy and I went to finish it. Then troy just finished it himself that next summer.
This is NOT the pillar. This is the OW that faces the road. It lies about 50 yards East of the fallen pillar.
On the pillar I remember belaying TDA on that 3rd pitch twice till he established the anchor. I think he sent it the next week in a rainstorm solo. Your chimney pitch sucked! All that gripping climbing up to a 1 1/2" bolt! Then a run to the anchor.....to bad that line fell over. It was full value.

Well damn, We need to put up a memorial route for the pillar of great price.
