Climb the featured face of the south side of the Leaning Tower using all the holds you can imagine.

This is a great route for beginners, as there are a few spots where finding good grips is tricky.

You can also climb it one handed if 5.5 is a little easy for you.

Southern Face

Eastern Face

Old Bolt Route

Southeastern Arete

Climb the slightly overhung Eastern face of The Leaning Pillar using various different kinds of crack systems, jugs and other interesting holds.

This route is an excellent sustained workout, and offers a great view in the final top out move.

This route follows the route set up by the old rusty bolts, which are still present scarring the rock just left of the southeast arete.

Top out above, it's .11a, so go over the bulge instead of around it.

All the feet in the crux of this route are crappy, which is the only reason why this climb is tough.

Climb the juggy arete on the initially overhung southeast corner of the rock. A great pumpy route, with holds appearing as the route progresses. There is also a great undercling just before the final roof, though the route can be finished either by climbing around the final bulge to the left, or around it to the right.

A trad fall will drop you a fair ways down into a bush if you fall before your first placement.  This is also the toughest part of the route, so don't fall.
