Description:

Climb thin dikes to the bolt and then traverse right over some thin friction to the railroad feature, a larger dike system. Follow this system to a bolt, the belay, and then up subsequent pitches. A steeper first pitch variation, 10a, follows the thin dikes up from the first bolt to the anchor. Falling high on the variation could prove deadly as it is farther to the anchor than from the ground to the bolt.

4 out of 5 stars grandfunk

do yourself a favor and traverse hard right from the first bolt. don't get sucked into seams or risk a do or dive moment like i did. upper pitches are plain fun.
