Description:
Start to the right of the steeper direct start, around a corner a few feet. Keep moveing up and left until you reach the nice vertical hand crack. Belay just under the obvious wide crack. Climb mostly on the face avoiding the O.W. crack where possible past a fixed pin. When the crack changes direction and starts to head right, traverse on large dikes around the arete and up moderate face climbing. Belay in the crack or just barely run it to the top on a 60m rope (Literally 0 feet to spare) Nice route.

Nice route, good exposure
Fun climb, varied. Pitch 1 was a mix of cracks, dikes, and some flakes. Pitch 2 was more dikes and slabby - though I used the off-width crack a bit (5.8 variation). We got off route at the end, and went a little too high, and had to traverse back left on the start of Pitch 3 to regain the arete. Fun climb for sure.

Surrealistic Pillar
Lots of fun on a very windy day, but nowhere near on par with Corrugation Corner. Climbed with Brad82, I led p. 2. There's good gear at crux sections but lots of R/X terrain.
