Swooped Pillar

Swooped is the first tower that becomes obvious as you approach The Wall of Echos.The Rock is a little less featured than its neighboring counterparts, nonetheless it does house some super high quality, splitter, single pitch lines, with an easy descent off of a tree. At least one magic multi pitch route exists on this formation. After a massive fall while pioneering the FA and suffering internal bleeding ending up in the hospital, some friends went and swooped the FA out from under me! LOL!!
More like I didn’t want to go back and have anything to do with that route! :)-

Getting There

As you approach the WOE, the first super clean swath of rock you hit with a large obvious lunch rock gathering area at the base you have arrived. The large white and orange lunch rock is noticeable upon first observation to have fallen from the giant orange roof 50 meters above. This is the magic line I speak of and took a beautiful yardsale from just at the lip of the roof all the way down down down, when a loose foot hold let go on me!!! Yeww, The FA was worth the extreme agonizing pain I endured for the weeks that would follow!!!
