Approach
From route 44/55 down hill from the Trapps bridge is good access. A trail runs south along the east side for the entire length at the base of the cliff. To descend climbs north of White Pillar follow Millbrook ridge trail back to the aforementioned road. And climbs to the south of White Pillar can be descended by walking south to a gully between the Near Trapps and the Bayards cliff.
