Description Suggest change

Grab your draws and don’t look back. Like its harder neighbors to the right (Argonaut and Skylark), this line has great exposure and wavy, featured rock. It follows a series of pillar-like formations on the face to a bold, slightly overhanging finish. Sustained 5.7/5.8 climbing if you stay on the bolt line. Fun adventure climbing once a top rope is established.

Location Suggest change

Pillar Assault begins about 80 feet right of the Big Arête at the bend in the trail. (15 feet left of Argonaut).

Protection Suggest change

11 bolts and a bolted anchor. The first bolt is high—so you may want to bring your stick clip.
