Description

The left (north) most route on the west face of Poultry Pillar. With overhanging jug pulls onto the summit, the last 20 feet are what really make this route worth doing.

Location

This route is on Poultry Pillar, a spur pillar of Castle Rock. Start at the same point for Drumstick Direct (the bottom of the face), but traverse left about 15 feet, either right away or gradually. Rappel from cold shuts on the summit.

Protection

Really good pro options pretty much everywhere. A few offset cams could be the bees knees at the start, as the bottom cracks are flared, but I found ample opportunities for hexes, nuts, and DMM offsets. There is a set of cold shuts with a rappel ring on the south end of the summit. There is also a bolt for clipping into while setting up the rappel, although it's not needed.
