Description
Start up a steep hand crack on the side of the tall narrow pillar from inside the corridor. Get onto a ledge, then up the main pillar face past horizontals. 3 bolts, a fixed pin, and supplemental cams protect a thin crease and the crux finish. 3-bolt anchor with hangers near the lip but no rap hardware. Rap down the gap on NW side via bolted rap chains atop West Face Route, between Pillars 2 and 3, to touch down on the parking lot side. Step way back to pull the rope to clear the big chock boulders.
