Description:
This is the blunt pillar straight in front of the rangers kiosk on the west side of the tunnel. The first pitch is mixed cracks ranging into the 5.7ish range. The next pitch is slightly runout to the beginning of many bolts. This route is a great route to climb if you Zion time is limited. I think I saw this is Cameron Lawsons Desert Select Guide. I've climbed it twice. Rappel the eastern face.

Awesome!
This was the only climb we did in Zion and it was great. Don't need crack skills for the first pitch - plenty of holds around. Second pitch is pure fun.

great climb
Tough communication on the second pitch with road noise.

Just another roadside attraction.
Nice line. I thought the 2nd pitch was easier than the 1st. No problem for a beginning 5.7 leader.

Great climb! The second pitch was a blast despite it leaving us completely pumped. Bring a 60 m at the very least.
