Enjoyable climbing up a face and arete. Bring a bit of gear (up to green Metolius) for the crack in the beginning. There's a short 10b crux right after the 2nd bolt, but most of the climbing is 5.9 or below. I'd have given it 4 stars if it was more sustained. The Slatanic Area is perched high up on the ridge dividing Rattlesnake Canyon and The Valley of Kings. Spectacular view, but a pain in the arse to get to.
South of Heaven (5.12d) looks incredible. I hope one day I'm strong enough to work on it.
