You Can't Chop This

Description

This is climb # 4 on the photo. It is on the south face of the James Brown Pillar (6). Start on easy ground for 30 feet until you reach a small roof. Reach around to the left and place some blind brass, and then pull the roof (crux). There is an alternate 5.9 method farther to the left, but the original leader went this way. After pulling the small roof, there is a very nice jam crack leading to the top.

Perhaps this crack and others on the Garrison were climbed decades ago,

but I thought I'd put it on the map as a VFA (virtual FA). Climbed in

the late 80's/early 90's. If anyone has conflicting information, please let me know.

Location

On the small pillar to the north (right) of the Garrison.
