Jim was very worthy of such an amazing award. It's telling to so few climbs have awards named after them. The Third Pillar is clearly deserving. :)
What a moment that had to have been. :)
Thanks for the new photos. Awesome place. Still haven't climbed it though - boo hoo. My body serially keeps thwarting that. Maybe next year...

It's not the complete 3d Pillar award until it's got wreaths of Poison Oak leaves.
Well earned Jim!

It was my favorite climb for a while, and even now it still ranks in my top 10.
The approach is quite lovely as well.
Just don't go down the wrong gully at the end.

Hoh man- fun to see this revived. What a fun thread - I can still remember how perplexed Donini was! :)

So did Maldaly ever get up this thing? Sounds like it would be a great 60th BD gift. :) Maybe base off the top to avoid the hike out.

You could do one of the 5.10 option starts on the right:
(this one is called Pajamarama, an FA Karl Rundi I did in 1981)
(right of the regular route and left of Lenticular Limbo)
Somewhere in the middle:
The crack option to the right of the ear:
Almost looks like a tower:
Looking down the last pitch:
The pictures are from 1985 and 1986. The climbers are Jennifer Bergeron and Shelley (Presson) Dunbar
