Description
Organ Pipes is a buttress with multi-pitch lines that require a rappel approach and jug out or a longer hike in from Lower Monument Canyon.
The GPS function isn't currently working or accurate.
Getting There
To access it, I have always rapped at the Organ Pipe Overlook and downsoloed the cleft between the Organ Pipe and the rim (5.6 chimney). This spits you out on the south side and 5 minutes from the base of the climb. The jug out is a bitch, but with some big wall skills and some ingenuity, it goes fast enough. You can also come in from the Sentinel Spire overlook and walk across the canyon floor - this is about 45 minutes from rim. The hump in from Lower Monument Trailhead is an hour fifteen plus.
