Description
This is a great little climb to combine with another route in the gorge.
Climbs a free-standing pillar starting on the south side. Climb a slightly overhanging wall with good holds 10' to a small terrace on the southwest corner. Follow a finger/hand crack up to the left (crux). The crack slightly overhangs before a horizontal seam. Continue up the crack as it leans to the slight right where it ends on a small summit.
This is the first such pillar to be freed in the gorge. The best vantage point to view the route is from the base of the Panther Den Wall on the Marcy side of the drainage.
