Caylor, got to agree about the center route on Killer Pillar, gorgeous rock in an amazing location. Dimitri Barton however was the first to red point it not Roy. I spanked in the bolts on top, and top roped it before either of them exiting out left instead of finishing direct. On a return trip to suss the bolting I broke edges off at two different spots. I was unable to repeat the moves again before Dimitri went up and bagged all three on that face. I was bummed out to say the least when I learned Dimitri had done them all while I was away at Smith Rocks the following week.

How is the stuff at Taft? Anybody been?
Keeper of the Flame is cool.
My buddy did whipcord a lil while ago and said it was rad.
I went to Loggerhead last week and got pretty schooled- good rock hard climbing
Mcdevitts switchblade is way better than wicked gravity

Cookie Monster on the Cookie Cliff.
Shaft of the Penetrator, the unnamed route to the right of previous mentioned, Keep the Muscle Loose the Fat. All at the Knobby Wall.
Knobby Wall is good for gimmie 5.12's if you boulder at all.

Meltdown at the knobbywall is cool but in general the routes aren't very good down there- there's way better boulder problems in the valley

Survival, sport climbing has been a part of the mix, albeit a small part, since the 80's. Remember the Kauk/ Bachar episode. I've climbed on the Killer Pillar and enjoyed it. I don't think that people travel to the Valley from afar to sport climb but it's there for those who want a change of pace.

Well there is that Chris Mac sport climb, Caught at the Lip, 5.11 on Shultz's Buttress. Pretty fun. Until you get to the lip sandbag move. Defintely an stunning location there beneath El Cap and very sunny and warm, dries out quick on a wet day.
