Chief of Scouts

Description

This route features an OK start to a really fun couple of moves over a bulge at 3/4 height and a easier but still engaging topout. I busted an air Jordan slam dunk-style dyno off a big ledge to a massive letterbox slot in a horizontal crack, though ample footholds in the roof mean shorties have a way out too. Very enjoyable climbing and quite a memorable crux move (at least the way I did it).

A tall person (or one with an awesome ape index) would probably have a laughably easy time with this crux.

Historical reference- Buffalo Bill Cody was chief of scouts for the 3rd calvary in the late 1860s. So there ya go.

Location

Basically in the middle of the Cowboy Wall. Begins just left of Cigar Store Indian, initially trending left away from the smooth featureless reddish stripe. It tackles the biggest part of the bulge above.

Protection

7 bolts, 2-bolt clip & lower sport anchor.
