BETA PHOTO: Slam Dance, 5.10


Description 

Down and right from the portion of Isles In The Sky with Bird Of Fire is this dark wall with many plates which is capped by a large roof.

Starting 15' right of Save The Last Stance For Me (5.9), climb three bolts up and over a steep bulge on good holds to a shared anchor/rap with that route.

This is a very atypical route as it climb steep rock on positive holds...not your typical grainy slab. This alone is reason to give this climb a go. As a bonus this and the neighboring route are seldom done so expect the wall to yourself.


Protection 

3 bolts to a bolted anchor/rap (all 3/8")

Another beauty! Fun roof, good rock, in the shade, easy approach, great, solid rap station. A must do!

I have to agree with Chris and Locker. This was a very fun route. Well protected and very different then the typical Joshua roof. It's all there with a good reach.
