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.
