Description

The Dylan Wall leads right out of the 4th pitch of the

Scenic Cruise

and connects with the second pitch of

Journey Home

. The independent pitches are 5.11+, 5.12-, and 5.7. The 5.11+ pitch has some scaly rock, but it seldom effects the climbing. The 5.12- pitch is technical and on stellar rock. Combine this with Twisted for a bigger day.

P1: (after the

Scenic Cruise

) Climb right from the belay and join the crack system on a pedestal. Thin pro and climbing leads to a shallow, leaning dihedral. 5.11 PG-13. Climb through steep hands and fingers to a corner with a jammed block. 5.11+. The belay requires a 3 Camalot, 1/4" piece, and a medium nut. 140'

P2: Climb a thin dihedral to a fixed nut and pin. Technical moves gain a thin crack finish. 5.12-. 70'

P3: Up and down on 5.7 traversing right leads to the middle of pitch 2 on

Journey Home

. 90'

Pitch 2 and 3 can be combined, but the second will get a pretty loose belay on the the crux moves.

Location

Start on

Scenic Cruise

and belay half way through the 4th pitch on a ledge. It is easy to see the diagonal crack from the ground, but the belay is NOT where it first leaves the

Scenic Cruise

, but another 30' up on a ledge that can be traversed to join the crack.

Protection

Set of "RPs" and stoppers. One set micro cams. Doubles from #0.3 to 2 Camalots. One #3 and #4 Camalot.
