A more direct view down the "easy" way up Pilot Rock. The holds are there when they need to be, more or less.

So how difficult is the "easy way"

Hard to tell in pictures and I didnt' see any route descriptions. Is the "easy" way class 3, 4, 5?

Re: So how difficult is the "easy way"

There's only a short section that could be called class 4 and that's arguable. It's maybe 30 feet or less. (At least under good weather conditions - the rest is 2/3 class - even wet rocks could change that since they are about 30 degrees+ and pretty smooth in places.)



I avoided investingating this thing for years because it looked so formidable from a distance but it's not really bad when you get up close. The "easy" line up the NW cleft is unmistakable.



Have fun!
