Description Suggest change

The Leaning Pillar has always seemed a bit goofy to me. Protected first by one bolt, then by two, the climbing has always seemed as though something was missing in the conceptualization. The route starts left of the Dissolution/Resolution face climbs by first starting up the corner. Traverse out left for a clip after 15 feet and head up on good edges to a crack system and a clip just before the cracks. The rational climber may elect to fire in a #3 Camalot above the second clip, or just grab the good jams and suck in a small amount of air. The anchor is over a ledge and out of sight. This is not a great route, but the stone is solid.

Protection Suggest change

Bring a couple of draws, a mid-size camming device, and a rope. There is a double bolt anchor at the top.

As of 2007, it has been retrobolted to be 6 bolts and does not require gear.
