The late great Guy Edwards claimed someone fell off these pillars in the '80s, breaking his back on the stairs. This event apparently sent buildering into a dark age, as security cracked down on the activity. However, a search of the UBC archives for some mention of this event yielded no results. It could be that the student newspapers didn't report it, or perhaps the whole story is an embellishment of the following story:

The stone pillars on the north do not offer as easy route as they might appear to. R. Price and M. Warr are agreed on that - damaged ankles are not worth it.

In any case use the utmost caution if soloing this route.
