What is the location of the citibank rock climbing commercial?
Moab, UT Fisher Towers. We shot from a helicopter!
Edit: More specifically, the formation they summit is Ancient Art on the route called Stolen Chimney. I climbed this a few years ago -- even cooler is, where the woman in the ad stands on the top of the tower is on a loose block that moves as you stand on it!
Edit: Adding the the fact that the top is loose, there are also no anchors from the last 20, or so, feet. This means if you fall, you fall about 40 feet! (20 ft. for the tower, 20 ft. the rope length from the climbing the tower). Just makes the fact she climbed and was standing on there ever more impressive.
