Description 

While walking downstream from the Monster Wall towards Spaghetti Western Wall Area there's an obvious lichen-encrusted slab. From afar it looks steeper and more enticing than it turns out to be. This is it. There's one route up the middle of the slab with the crux right at the start.

Getting There 

Walk downstream along the trail on the south side of the stream for about two minutes from the Monster Wall. Cross the stream towards the slab.

Making the second clip is pretty exciting as the bottom of this climb is covered in moss. After that its enjoyable 5.4 climbing to the top. Very slippery after the daily afternoon thunderstorms.
