5.11c First climbed by [Warren Harding](climber/871/warren-harding), Glen Denny and Chuck Pratt as the East Face of Washington Column in 1959. Although this ascent was mainly aided the Harding Slot - free climbed at a notional 5.9 - is still a considerable challenge for many despite its relatively low grade.

<p>Robbins started the route with the aim of erasing it by chopping the bolts and rivets, considering the 400+ holes drilled by the first ascent party to be excessive. After two pitches, Robbins stopped chopping the bolts and rivets because (according to Lauria) "the quality of the aid climbing was much higher than he had ever expected of Harding or Caldwell and, of course, it was also taking us an awful long time to chop all those goddam bolts."
