Description This is an excellent, sustained line with varied, interesting climbing from beginning to end. Start up the dihedral (10), waltz up an easy section to a tricky section in a corner (10 c/d). Finish up a crack that's harder than it looks.
Location Downhill and to the right of the large roof of Pirate Radio are two dihedrals. This starts up the easier right-hand one.
Protection Rolofson says that 6-7 stoppers or 0.5-0.75 Aliens are useful. If you're a 10 leader, bring the gear. If it's your warm-up, don't bother.

| A couple of interesting moves, but overall, I found this pitch so-so. |

| What a nice route. Bolts well spaced, but clean falls. Great variety of moves and techniques. Can be awkward, but if done right the moves are wonderful. Highly recommended. |

| Connect the bottom dihedral of Midnight Express to upper Stroke of Midnight for a nice 10a. |

| I didn't bring gear and I'm so happy I didn't fall, I thought it was hard for 10c. |

| As of 8/5/12, there is a wasp nest just below the anchor. They were pissed and stung my partner. |
