Description 

This is the left-most, bolted line on the Silver Cascade Slab. Pleasant, low-angled, runout, 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 (c. 0.5 mi) above the falls, past & above Silver Cascade, and before the bridge, head up & R through the trees to the slab. Find this line located separately from the other bolted lines on the far-L side of the crag where the terrain/dirt starts to become angled up & L.

Boulder up L 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 L edge of the huge flake & head to the top. There are 2 bolts at the top without rappel paraphenalia. 130ft. Walkoff L.

Hopefully that huge flake is stable.
