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.

Saved By The Clouds
This was our second climb of the day. I lead all five pitches, mostly prepping for a project. The clouds kept the sun off of us for most of this climb. This is a very fun route and I have yet to tire of it. I did place two small #4 BD nuts in the cracks at the bottom. I have always found this section to be quite slick so I like to have a little pro up to the first bolt. I always keep going past the pitch 4 belay rings and belay on the Pulpit flake since it is so much more comfortable. Then I just move back to the tracks and finish to the top.
