Two bolts on the top of the pillar. Use a long sling (4m/12ft) or two long runners to set up the top rope.

[Hide Comment] The first bolt you come to is not part of the anchor. Continue few feet south to a pair of bolts. Bring slings, two normal-size ones will do, to extend the anchor to or past the end of the slab. Dec 24, 2013
