Description
The Vector Madness Wall is a somewhat secluded area on the other side of the Geezer Wall. Where the Geezer Wall faces Dead Snag and Glass Ocean, Vector Madness is in the next gully over to the east. It faces NE and consequently has ample shade.
Getting There
Take the Challenge Buttress trail up to the Dead Snag/Steort's buttress, then angle east a bit. Avoid the gully between Geezer Wall and the Glass Ocean; if you can see either, you're in the wrong gully.
There is a well beaten trail bearing SE which eventually peters out in a small alcove -- bear east again and make your way up the next gully. The gully is wide and somewhat choked with talus and vegetation, with a prominent rock fin bordering it to the west. This fin of rock gets progressively taller higher up the gully; eventually Vector Madness can be seen as a shallow dihedral capped by a roof on the left.
Plan 20-30 minutes for the approach.
