Description:

(5.10a / 95ft / gear .5in to 2in) Climb the Pee Pee Pillar. So you’ve hiked up to the base of MC to do the Central Pillar, and there are climbers all over the place… on route… lounging in queues at the base… you shake your head, and think, if not say aloud… “Not today”. Well, instead of heading back down without touching stone, continue along the base for a relatively short distance to a distinct 100ft pillar, and climb the nice corner system on it’s right side… you’ll be glad you did!

4 out of 5 stars excelent route

Blew the onsite @ the finger layback crux (at least for me).
It's got good rest spots and protects very well

5 out of 5 stars I have to echo

what others have said as this is a hidden gem. 10a finger crack crux, 10a lieback crux, and a great stretch of hero handjams. Make sure your rope touches on the rappel.

4 out of 5 stars short but fun

Its got a wee bit of everything - fingers, layback, hands, fists. A fun pitch, well worth doing when theres a line for central pillar.

4 out of 5 stars What a hidden gem!

Did this after an attempt on central pillar of frenzy. We did the easier 5.7 left side to the top and top roped the right side. The -5.10a side. What a awesome finger crack to lay back. It was worth juat as much as central pillar is!
