Description

On SE corner of pillar: start with left hand on large pinch, work your feet up and get small crimp on face, get your left hand up, hike feet and throw for good hold up and left. A classic DL hard problem! Easier for the tall in my opinion.

Location

Main attraction at the Amazing Pillar.

[Hide Comment] I have to agree with Eric. It has awesome movement and the rock friction only gets better higher up. Get on this thing! It is worth the hike! Oct 30, 2011
