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.

imho this is NOT 10b/c, 10+, or PG-13. there isn't any move technically harder than the crux (10a) of the 1st/approach pitch on JFMB. the route is well protected (13 bolts) and there is an opportunity to put in gear before the first bolt, after the first bolt, and after the last bolt. the crux section, between the 8th and 10th bolts, is fairly tightly bolted.
it's easily possible to access this route from the top (P3) anchor of "Racing Lizards' (about 25' left and slightly up).
it is possible to do a single rap on double 70m ropes from the base of 'silver streak' to the base of the bolted 5.8 starting variation 9'controversial insert') of 'racing lizards' - it's pretty tight, so knot/watch your ends!
it's also nicer/more aesthetic to climb up this way. just make sure your second is tied-in, shoes on, and ready to go. make sure your rope runs as straight as possible. a handful of smaller sized cams (3/8-3/4) should suffice for this. 5.7/8R Dec 23, 2013
