I am looking for a partner to climb on Wednesday. I am hoping to just go up to the cabin wall as the weather looks to be on the cool side. I have the rack and give a fine belay.

PS. Does anybody know what the lonely splitter 10 min right of Bert and Ernies is on the cabin wall? Its up and to the right of the cabin proper. Looks clean, difficult and roughly 70'-80'.

IIRC it might be an aid line (if it is the one i think you are talking about). from the road it looks like a finger crack, but when you get closer it is more of a seam(?).

I paid that plum-looking splitter a visit last time I was at cabin wall. The meat of it looks like blue alien-sized tips laybacking in a slightly offset splitter. Most likely at least 5.13. I would be surprised if it has gone free as there isn't much flaking around the crack edges like you would see if it had been worked extensively.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
