Description
Slipstream is a long awaited pitch which tackles the beautiful bulging green center of the Main Wall.
Start on Solitaire, and clip the first four bolts of that route. I had a draw, and then a full length runner on bolt #4, and this worked pretty well. Stay well below the first chain draw on Solitaire, and move left with big feet, and a few scrappy hand holds. Mantel the small ledge, and prepare yourself for some serious tech festing.
The boulder problem crux of the route comes right off the ledge, and there are a couple ways of doing it. A perfect, miracle finger lock appears just when you want it, but it is a short lived pleasure. Crimp your way to the large orange rail up and right, then mantel your way to another set of hard moves that guard the angle break. At this point the grade drops, and the last 20' of climbing is a pleasure cruise up fantastic features to the fixed biner anchor.
