Start at the base of the rock, behind a big tree. Climb up the face crack to get on the low angle ramp. Head towards the crack to get some pro in before you make your way up to the buttress. Go straight up the left buttress, clipping 2 bolts down low and a third near the top. Shared anchors are way off left at the top. FULL 60M PITCH.

The west face of South Rock. Yikes Dikes (5.8) goes straight up and over the left side of the bisected buttress. The start of the climb is out of frame to the left.

Is this Yikes Dike? It is what I did. Gear anchor at the top.
