Description

A large pillar dislodged from the main escarpment.

Access issues inherited from Mount Nemo

There is a top-roping ban in effect meaning that top-ropes may only be setup by a climber who has led the climb from the ground up. DO NOT SLING CEDARS and pad all other trees when building anchors.

Left line of bolts up the steep face just left of the south-gully of the Ivory Tower.

Right line of bolts just left of the gulley. Spicy bolt spacing.

An exposed and uncomfortable descent, with the worst moves being right at the top. Recommended to climb up a few times to find the holds before downclimbing.

Climb up to a right-facing corner, overhang, then rightwards to a 2nd corner, then left to the top. No anchors, and anchor building on the cliff top is awkward without slinging the cedars.
