The area gets its name for obvious reasons. Multiple blocky pillars rise towards the sky offering a variety of dihedral climbs as well as face climbs. Being that the area is close to the main entrance and easily accessible, expect to see crowds of people in the area especially given the plethora of beginner climbs that tend to be swarmed. Due to the traffic, many of the climbs are less sharp and can be a bit more greasy but nonetheless there are plenty of gems to be climbed.
While the area does have a good number of beginner climbs it is also home to some of the most notable test pieces in the park including the famous Chain Reaction.
Cross the main bridge entering the park and turn left. Walk past Morning Glory Wall towards Asterisk Pass. The Dihedrals are located before the blank looking Prophet Wall and have a prominent pillar formation.

Not feeling confident getting to that first bolt? Or maybe the first bolt is a sizable distance off the ground? Whatever the reason, we recommend using the Trango Beta Stick Evo as way to stick clip the first bolt(s) to keep you safe and climbing. It collapses down into a reasonable size, making it easy to carry in your pack all the while being really easy to use.
