I was wondering if anyone has established routes to the climber's right (say, 100yards or so) of the regular route up the third pillar of dana. It looks like their is a lot of potential there.

Cool, thanks for the links clint. Looks like there are a few routes out that ways.
What I was really wondering about was the massive face that exists climbers left of the last couple of pitches (photo stolen from one of clint's links). Can't believe nothing goes up that thing!
EDIT-- Woops, looks like there is a mixed free/aid climb called "the one that got away" that heads up it.

I think you meant to climbers right.
I believe there are also routes to the left of the regular route.

Here is my home made topo of the "One that almost got Away". Miguel Carmona and I did it way, way back. Good route in a spectacular setting.
P.S. I understand some bolts were added to the aid pitches a few years back, but I have not been on it in many years

I don't have a clue, but the first free/aid pitch looked great. Here is Miguel at the start of the headwall pitch in September 1990.
