Description
This climb is on the northeast face of the South Astro Dome and lies in the center of the face atop a high point of stacked blocks. For reference
Solid Gold
lies 50' right in an obvious gold-colored streak. This climb climbs up and right to reach an obvious corner system high on the face.
P1) Starting from the stacked blocks climb smooth, delicate friction up and right past five bolts to a belay in thin cracks. As an alternative it is possible to move right 15' to use a bolted anchor on
Shooting Star
(5.11a R/X).
P2) From the belay climb the cracks/corner system to the top. There have been numerous birds in this area, so don't be surprised if the crack is filled with more than chalk.
To descend rap the route Shooting Star with a single 60 meter in two raps.
A fairly good route, although for the grade
Breakfast of Champions
is superior and cleaner. Still, not a bad route and one worth doing at least once.
Protection
5 bolts (3/8"), gear to 3"
