The Purblind Pillar route on the Angel Food Wall. Photo taken on 21 Oct 06. Numbered circles show anchor locations described in the route topo. Anchor 1 is a sling setup and Anchor 4 has two bolted hangers. All other anchors must be built with gear.

The start of the easy, straightforward descent (walk-off) of Purblind Pillar.

Deb starting the crack of P4. Pretty wide in places!

The 6th pitch. The first bolt is just above the top of the brown patch on the left.
