Description
Get on it after a dry spell (at least 2 days). Follows the obvious discontinuous crack system at the left end of the pine ledge. Slab up about 25' to a micro cam placement at the base of a crack, or continue up 10 more feet to finger-sized options. Protect here and make the runout to where the crack begins again. Reasonable placements from here on out. Move directly up to the large left-angling flake, and follow it all the way up as it channels you through a tree gap, a step up, and run out low angle slab to the top of X-Wall. Named in memoriam for the first ascensionist's father who was an avid outdoorsman and mountaineer.Tree webbing belay; walk off or rap. Possible to rap off with one 60 meter, using two rappels and the anchors on Scout's Slab Paws. Knot your ends! A 60 just makes it to the intermediate chains.
Location
Left of Cooler Slab. Starts on the same pine ledge.
Protection
Rack to #3, doubles of small finger sizes, medium nuts. A couple of micro cams are quite useful.
