Description

It may be a bit run out with some delicate gear placements, but it's guaranteed to maintain your habit.Pitch 1: Starts directly below a high first bolt.  Do a little bit of zig zagging for several small gear placements (tricams and slings strongly recommended), but the line heads straight up.  Ends at chains.  5.6, 85', gear + 2 bolts.Pitch 2:  Fun opening moves.  From the belay move up and left with great gear in eyebrows and the overlap.  Find the hidden bomber hold and pull up to the bolt-protected crux of the route.  Head up easier run out lichen-covered slab to another bolt and then join up with pH Balanced for the last bolt before the anchors.  5.8, 110', gear + 3 bolts

Location

Before reaching the pine tree ledge at the far right end of X wall, look for the high first bolt almost all the way to the right on the slab apron. It is just before the rail feature at the base of Scout's Slab Paws.
