Always THE columns classic.
I always thought this was supposed to be 5.7? I soloed it in my tennies and down climbed it. Top roped in 14 seconds (with climbing shoes!)

speed crack
this is my warm up run. I like to top rope it with an ascender and run laps until the sweat flows. I've gone up it in 14 seconds.
