This time we attempted to reach Neanderthal Wall from Pine Flat (a few years ago we'd tried from the east). We almost got there, and now we have beta for the very faint trail that takes you 95% of the way there. We just need to puzzle out the final bit, but honestly, the final bit looks to be the worst part.
The Pine Flat campsite was pretty great though, and it had water, at least in May. The Subie ran its battery dry, and we had to hike out to find a ranger to give us a jump, so I've added a jumper pack to our gear. We'll be back.
