Description
This is the namesake route of the Pillar de Chili formation (the name of which honors the former beloved HCR crag dog Chili). PdC is a short but enjoyable climb with some fun sequences. Not terribly sustained but powerful with its two steep cruxes. The stone here is also clean and absolutely bomber. Start off with a layback crux of the ground using an undercling knob and a uncomfortably low jug while smearing or using tiny dimples/edges for feet. Punch up long to the jug at the top of a vertical flake (there is a short-person friendly intermediate slopey rail there as well). Execute a high step and cruise through easy terrain to a ledge. Catch a rest, and then position yourself to tackle a small roof on cool and unexpectedly positive holds to the left of the bolt line. Pull the roof, and execute a couple of easier but still steep moves to the anchors.
