Paiute Pillar, 5.9R

9th Pitch- 180’- 5.9/ The Bird Hunter Buttress FAers call this two pitches and established a mid-anchor in the chimney, but no reason to do it in less than one pitch to the large ledge above. Follow the corner into the chimney. Utilize standard chimney technique past a bolt. As it narrows, pass a fixed belay and make an athletic squeeze move out of the chimney (crux of the route) and onto the left face. Run to the top of the chimney on nice ground with fixed pro to a very large ledge. Paiute Pillar, 5.9R, 10 Pitches, Rainbow Wall, Red Rocks, April, 2010

Re: I hate cracks. This is why:

thanks man, but I live for this stuff! most folks do seem to hate it though, none more than my wife, she would rather be out on 5.11 sketchy face than in comfy 5.9 chimney or OW, go figure
