Split Personality

Definitely a different style for HCR as the first part of this route is up a chimney feature and the second half is a very contrasting sloper-strewn slab similar to Crag Dog Millionaire. Split Personality starts out almost as a face climb with support/friction for/with the back rather than true chimneying moves. There is a distinct (and somewhat height-dependent) crux sequence of two moves that marks the transition between the two halves of the climb as one exits the chimney to the slab. Taller climbers can just continue up with back support and reach high to good crimps, pull the first move, and then exit the chimney feature by stepping back on top of the outer wall of the chimney before moving fully to the slab. Shorter climbers will probably need to push, grunt, and wriggle through a couple full chimneying moves and then crimp and smear on to the slab.

On Pillar de Chili's west side-- north and slightly west of the easily visible (from the base of the Split Personality chimney) Pride and Envy Wall.
