Paiute Pillar, 5.9R

1st Pitch- 200’- 5.9/ The best pitch on the Paiute Pillar route if for no other reason than the quality of rock. It seemed easier than 5.9. Follow the obvious crack splitting the wall to the top of the wall and the main bench below Rainbow Wall proper. Towards the end, leave the crack out let via solid varnished face climbing. Place gear at will. Paiute Pillar, 5.9R, 10 Pitches, Rainbow Wall, Red Rocks, April, 2010

Re: looks very nice.

unless one is obsessed as I am Radek, prob only need to do one of these 5.9's....pretty much the same stuff....Bird Hunter has a lot more fixed gear, is a bit more traveled no doubt...the first pitch that Paiute adds is real good ground... deteriorates quickly after that. I enjoyed both routes, but I could see where many would not appreciate either (holds broke on both). The setting up on the right side of the wall, looking down at Brownstone, over at Bridge and Cloud is spectacular in any regard. Cheers.

thanks Dow! Had to cancel a couple of RR trips this Spring due to work :(

(oh well...there's always next fall)
