1) Never park or camp overnight at the access points.
2) Always park off the pavement, taking great care to avoid blocking the gates.
3) Clean up after your dogs. (Local climbers are finding abandoned doggie poop bags.)
4) Pack out all trash and TP, including picking up after others.
5) Use the outhouses if at all possible.
Description
Mind Meld is the aesthetic SE arete of the Dilitium Crystal. The first 25' are quite bouldery and have difficult clips, but the climbing remains sustained beyond this as it ascends the arete via a series of one and two finger pockets. Lower off anchor on a big ledge at ~90 feet. There is an 11c extension that rides the arete for a full 35 meter MEGA pitch.
A fun route with really interesting, powerful movement. Easily toproped from the anchors on Photon Torpedo.
