Friction Slide

From

Walt's Wall Route

(p1), head left or west about 20-30 feet over a rock to a small area to throw packs down (like a small room.) This route is right between

Ed's Crack

and the Mantle Route. You can either go straight up from the left side of the "room" or you can do the right alternate start. There's a flake if you go right, but angle up to the left through a couple of bolts. Belay at the beginning of pitch 2 of

Walt's Wall

. A TR can be set by leading

Walt's

pitch one and walking over on a small ledge.

Per

Eric Goltz

: the route actually starts just a few yards climber's RIGHT from

Ed's Crack

.

There are a couple (2 or 3) bolts, so bring a couple of draws. Then bring some medium to large nuts for the belay.
