The center pillar... walking through the windows.


Description 

Climb the center pillars for some serious WI5, 70M ropes will allow it to be done in a single pitch.

The left side is somewhat more tame WI4, requiring pitching it out in two.

The far right often sports a hanging WI6+ M-hard dagger.

This climb gets morning sun.


Location 

45min hike west of the Sundance Ski Resort, there is a trail on the N side of the drainage which can be found by hiking up to the gate of a private community, then crossing the creek, 50yds up a short hill, then continue west on the snowshoe trail. Descend from the top of the ice by hiking north 200yds to a location where you can slide down a gully, then hike back to the base.

Stewart falls definitely seems to offer a much more rewarding feel than Bridal Veil. Well worth the hike!
