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.

It was a rather warm day but the climbing was great. The first pitch can be a little tricky this time of year. Even though the section up to the first bolt can look very easy, it becomes very slick when hot. It can be protected with micro cams and small nuts. While I did not have any difficulties, I did have to rely more on the handholds and be careful of where I placed my feet. After that, it was smooth sailing. I lead the full route and took my time, enjoying the beautiful day.
