Access Issue: Raptor Closures
Details
March 1st-July 31st: Devil's Head Rock, Sin City, & Recovery Wall are closed for raptor protection.
The vast majority of the other crags are unaffected by the closure. Please visit:
fs.usda.gov/alerts/psicc/al… for additional information and maps.
Description
Start at the base of the steeper south side of the pillar. Trend up and left through a few thinker moves to reach a tricky but short slab. Gain a very good flake system that takes you up and right to thin ... as you go to reach a tricky move to gain the final bulge. This is varied throughout. Still, it is a bit dirty but should continue to clean up well.
Location
It is the namesake route of the Corkscrew Pillar and is just right of
Corker about 200 feet to the right of where the approach trail hits the base of the lowball wall and
Sunrise Slab.
Protection
10 bolts and anchors (shared with
Corky).
