A tough 5.6 on the first visit. It is sustained throughout and has a couple of fairly hairy friction moves on it. The online Mountain Project website describes it thus:
'Solo System is found just to the left of the large boulder described under 'Star Dancer' - a slab angling just a bit to the climber's left. A fun route and a good introduction to Rushmore friction. For most of the route there are nice, big crystals for the hands and feet. At a couple of points, however, you 'get to' make a couple of pure friction moves. The climb gets easier the higher you get' [I don't remember it getting easier!]
'Once at the top you can rap down [60m ropes needed] or walk off to climber's left. Note that it is physically possible to set up a TR here, but you'd be setting yourself up for a big swing if you fell - not recommended.'
Protection: 7 bolts and 2 bolt anchor.'
