120m, 3 pitches. A variation to the 'chimney pitch' of Pillar Chimney, possible in lean conditions or if the normal line is taken!
P1 60m 3 Follow the gully rightwards as per normal to the stance at the base of the pillar.
P2 30m 5 From the stance, move right, around the outside of the pillar, following the obvious crack & fault-line in a rising rightwards traverse to join the icy pitches of Left Hand Y Gully coming in from below. It is also possible to gain the top of the pillar from this side.
P3 30m 4 Climb the icefalls on the right to easier ground & the top.
