Description
I saw this last year and wanted to gift it to my good friend Dave who is a master at going ground up on face climbs, drill hanging straight from the harness and all. The way I recall it, Dave (who is seven feet tall and kills men by the hundreds, vis a vis William Wallace) led this thing drilling from stances and never clipping in direct or using hooks. He took some great whips along the way, or did he? I can't remember but it was awesome. It was a great display of sensible craftsmanship by a great guy who has quietly contributed much to the Moab climbing scene. We even got to see a great trundle from the anchor ledge to wrap up the full experience.
Location
Down and right of the .10+ routes Locked Out and Master Lock, on an obvious beautiful pillar.
