Access Issue: Portions of Mt. Elden are closed (July 16th) for forest thinning
Details
Forest thinning will begin on Monday July 16th. They are going to start in unit 1 which is the eastern most unit, essentially above the Shadow Mountain and Swiss Manor neighborhoods. This closure is in effect until the unit 1 project is complete and they move west which will impact other crags.
Climbing areas impacted are: Gloria’s and the Skyline Boulders. The standard access to the Dragon Eggs, Red Dragon, and Solitude Canyon are closed, though these crags are still open if you find appropriate alternative access from Bufffalo Park for Solitude, or from the top of Mt. Elden for the Red Dragon.

Description
Slipstream is a long awaited pitch which tackles the beautiful bulging green center of the Main Wall. You’ll feel like you have been taken for quite the journey when you reach the anchors.
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.
