Nice Solitude
Fun moves, on well featured stone. Long, but difficulties ease just as the pump clock starts to activate. Well protected. Careful lowering off as the fall line isn't down the route.

Second ascent by:
hot, buggy
With Sarah B. We were going to climb on Easy Street, but between the intense heat, direct sun, not enough water, and forgetting the bug dope, we decided to count it as a recon day and retire. Which is when Ben and Pam came along. They had put up the Tea area, and invited us to share their rope (and gave us bug dope). So we followed them. This one was great fun, slightly crumbly but not terribly insecure. Not too tough for 10a; really eases up once you pass a crux bulge about 25 feet up. Well protected.
