Description 

A very fun route with solid rock quality and a tricky crux, a definite must-do for those who like slab climbing.

Location 

Follow the standard approach to PSOM Slab. From here, hike uphill and climb P1 of the John Fischer Memorial Route to the anchors (5.10a). Look up from the anchors and at about 10 o'clock you will spot a bulge to a set of mussy hook anchors from here. Climb to those anchors (5.8) and you are at the base of Silver Streak. Rappel with two 70 meter ropes.

Protection 

14 draws and optional small nuts. Two ropes.
