Description

Scintilla's is large, half of it rotten and the other half is quite sound. The main draw with this one lies with its west-facing arete, but there may be other potential on the monstrous north face. The landings are a mix as well, many are good though.

There is a small downclimb on the boulder's south face.

Getting There

It is located in the Southie Area. From the parking area, head downhill, cross the creek, then head toward the Hueco Boulder. From that boulder, head straight south, and you'll run into it. Reference the page map for greater clarification.
