illbelayya Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Has anyone done the NE Face on Steins Pillar? Rumor has it it goes at 5.8 C2, 5 pitches. Do you know the condition of the 'fixed pieces'? Is the rock, tuft? Is the hooking mandatory on the tuft? Also, I heard the 5.5 chimney pitch start should be avoided. Can you confirm a bolted 5.9 as an alternate start? Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illbelayya Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) Thank you dan forester for the links. They are just what I was looking for. Bytheway, the only post that shows up when I search for 'steins pillar' is my own. Ofcourse, I tried the search option first.

EWolfe Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 A buddy and I wanted to put up a free route on the NE face back in '95, but we both chickened out on the aid climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvallisclimb Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 All belays are bomber, theres manditory 5.8 out of the aiders, the 5.5 start is more of a 5.9 boulder problem to 30ft of unprotected 5.4 really nothing, i soloed it in sandals and i suck. tho you can to the 5.9 sport start. the last two pitches link easily. the hooking is not manditory if you free climb or have a stick clip. there is usually a bomber bolt every 30ft id say. and there is a lot of mank fixed shit. any one wanna team up for a major route clean up? ive got a ton of ASCA stuff ready to be used, could prolly lower the hole count a bit.
