Description 

To start look both ways and step out into the road. Hop up and ascend to an easy first bolt before following the route through overhanging rock with great holds. The crux is getting established below the final roof after pulling up through the previous one. Don't worry though, there's a bolt at your belt.

Several places list this route as 5+ under the French system which should correspond to 5.10a, but 5.8-5.9 is about right.

Location 

Walk to the extreme right of the crag where the road meets the blasted rock. Dali is the rightmost route up the juggy overhanging rock of the blasting scar.

Protection 

Closely spaced bolts up to bolt and chain anchors.
