4 out of 5 stars Didn't find the desert either

Top-roped from Silk Road anchor. Really nice climb. Either my climbing has improved dramatically (not) or it's a bit soft on the grade. Felt like a 9.

3 out of 5 stars I somehow avoided the desert

Felt like there was more hand and foot options than in the description. Fun alternate line up to silk roads anchor.

4 out of 5 stars More fun

This is a fun route with a lot of subtle holds and delicate footwork. Making your way around the bulge above the 2nd bolt on Silk Road can seem like a faith-based process. Above this side pulls and good footwork see you to the chains. Grade 5.10b or so depending on the line you pick up the slab.
