Description:
Right of the access scramble, which will take you to the top where all the anchors are for most of Playground Wall climbs. Find a large flake that looks like South America, wonder who called it Africa, then start up on the big flakes directly underneath. You can go straight up, to a rounded grassy ledge, and then the top, or you can traverse slightly right to finish on big horns at the chains (recommended). Route gets pumpy when you've tried to lead it, and inadvertantly found yourself free-soloing it.

Solo ascent by:
led with sketchy pro
climbed on TR a few times over a few visits to Cedar; felt great, started up with slings, which didn't stay on the horns and flakes; had it wired, so I finished it feeling great and secure. Such is the foolishness of youth. 'Led' (essentially free-soloed) a couple other times, including in winter when my fingers started loosing feeling and I had to find a faster way off, up and left. Kinda funny at the time...
