A little further on you can see the side of the postpile, where columns have twisted around and are pointing out horizontally, along with some tenacious bushes growing from the cliff side.

This picture is a little bit hard to grasp in terms of perspective. Those column ends and bushes are jutting out of the surface of an irregular wall (like the end of a wood pile) at just about 90 degrees, and the camera is pointing upwards at this wall, at a point about 20 feet above the photographer's head.

It's possible to climb up to the top of the pile at this point...
