As you sit by the Stone House facing Lone Pine Peak's South Face, A large Orange Wall is visible just to the right of the Winter Route drainage. .To the left of the Orange Wall is the huge dihedral of Dynamo Hum. Left of Dynamo Hum is (somewhat visible from Stone House) multipitch pedestal with crack system/dihedral above it, ending in another steep, orangy wall. The Czech Pillar follows this pedestal, dihedral and the orangy face above, for 7 pitches. Ascend the drainage to the right of Winter Route to the base of the Orange Wall.. Follow the gully to the left, passing the dihedral of Dynamo Hum to a notch. We build a cairn at the notch, where the Czech Pillar route starts.
The route is moderate in difficulty, climbs quality rock and protects well.
For further information see the 2022 Roger Putnam and Vitaliy Musiyenko High Sierra Climbing, pages 125 to 129.
From the notch, climb three pitches (to 5.7) up a pedestal below a right facing inside corner. At the base of the corner, pass underneath a block (5.6). A strenuous pitch (5.9) in the dihedral follows. The next pitch also continues up the dihedral (5.8) . Climb a pitch under a large flake (5.8). At the top, under the flake, make several moves (5.8 fixed pin) along a sloping ledge to a belay stance on the right. Move 20 feet to the right to reach a crack system on a steep, orangy wall. Follow the crack system (5.7) to the top.
Descend the standard North East Couloir/Slopes route.
The route was first climbed on 27th of June 1998 by Alois Smrz and Miguel Carmona (Miguel named the route to get even with me for all the "great" names I thought up for HIS climbs ).
