5.8 Y'er Ass

This good pitch on the west face of Paired Pole Pillars climbs better than expected rock with lots of jams. There are two cruxes, both where the climbing goes right to avoid climbing straight over small overhangs. After the first crux, there is a chockstone/horn wedged in the crack that must be pulled on to move up, and it's very solidly welded. At the second crux traverse, don't use the larger detached block to the right for your feet, use the small ledge instead for feet. The crux moves are significantly easier with good footwork and balance. Near the top, move up and left onto mediocre (but solid enough) blocky terrain to bolted anchor.

The climb is the left crack on the west face of the formation. This crack is right of a clean face without cracks.

Standard trad rack to two inches including about eight two foot slings. Small wired are not needed. There is an anchor and chains before the loose ridge. Rap the route with a 60m rope.
