The Wasp
With Tristyn from Alberta. It is just an ok route, something to combine with Walker Spur and others on the east face of Mescalito. The start would be the crux for trad leaders at their limit due to poor rock quality and pro. The technical crux is the roof pull above the "hole" (what I more accurately describe as the off width). Handren has it marked as three pitches but there would be no need for the competent leader to do it in over two. A pair of C4#3s and/or #4s is adequate for the wide placements.
