Description

This is the left-most, bolted line on the Silver Cascade Slab. Pleasant, low-angled,

, stickier than

Reality Check

. It can even be TR'ed wet or in a rain.

Find this by parking at the Helen Hunt Falls, hike up the established trail (~0.5 mi) above the falls, past & above Silver Cascade, and before the bridge, head up & right through the trees to the slab. Find this line located separately from the other bolted lines on the far-left side of the crag where the terrain/dirt starts to become angled up & left.

Boulder up left of the first bolt on flakes with the crux move before the 1st bolt. Clip & head up. Clip 3-4 widely spaced bolts to an overlap/huge flake. Carefully pull up on the left edge of the huge flake & head to the top. There are 2 bolts at the top without rappel paraphenalia, 130 feet. Walkoff to the left.

Hopefully that huge flake is stable.

Protection

Update: there may be some extra retrobolts.
