Ascent Notes for: Red Pillar - 5.5 Average Rating : 3.88/5

Wow, I had never been on this climb. The second pitch is a ton of fun. Crux was puzzling for this shorty. Once I figured it out it was easy peasy. Very fun and worth doing. Linked with Arrow.

Led P2, after following Eric on Thin Slabs to the GT ledge. For a bunch of silly reasons we didn't finish Thin Slabs, but I got to lead P2 of Red Pillar.

Nice to get back into leading after a break. Very sweet climb, at first glace the moves at the top of P2 seemed harder than 5, but once climbed it became obvious it was 5 all the way.

Thin gear on the first pitch.

Second pitch has some good moves!!

P1 is eh? but P2 is pretty fun climbing. climbed with seth and pavel. seth led.

The pillar is a garden, the face is nice. Some reachy moves for this shorty. Followed Doug, a new leader. He did a great job.

3 years ago we goofed and got on Hawkeye by mistake so it was nice to come back to do the real p2. Great well protected pitch with a tough finish for the grade. Geoff led p1 and found gear to be thin on the lower half.

great climb, with a roof thought was tough for a new leader or someone who doesnt like overhang but a solid 5.5 move at crux

led this route both pitches w/ HJ seconding. guys in rock and snow recommended it to me the day before an i cant believe it was the first i had heard about this route- it is fun, beautiful and sustained climbing throughout- not hard, just nice.

i loved every minute of it.
