This alternate start to "Diablo" was set by one bad A, mofo climber.  When others said it couldn't be done, he just laughed in their faces and did it anyway.  That's just the type of dirtbag climber he is.  He never takes "no" for an answer.  He sometimes takes "maybe" for an answer, but never "no".  Sharp rock and  some big reaches, but who cares? The holds are great.

Inverted Stairway

scramble up and use the huge bat cave to reach your first and last bolt before the chains.  A couple of sequencial reachy moves gets you to a rat hole and you're at the chains. very short with a kneebar and some fun.

If the kids are around, you can clip the chains and let you kids climb up the left side and swing back and forth.

This route was bolted for the kids.  The bolts are barely 5 feet apart, I can have one bolt at my waist and reach the next.  Perfect for kids learning how to lead climb.

The crux is getting past the first bolt. Some use an undercling to get started, but there are some crimps on the right if you want some fun. After the 2nd bolt it's super easy climbing

up to the first bolt is barely 5.7 climbing.  Find an awesome pocket to clip the 2nd bolt.  Prepare some fancy footwork to traverse the arete.  after that it's smooth sailing.

just to the right of the bulge finishes a little higher than Diablo.  pretty short and fun.  There seemed to be great holds and it's a perfect line.  I tended to stay left of the bolts and thought I was on the another line the whole time.  Super fun with Great holds

Climb Mac and continue another 10 feet to the chains.  After the chains to Mac, there's an awesome jug to clip the next bolt.  After that there are some reachy moves to get you up and over the bulge.  I thought this finish to Mac made the climb worthwhile.  Some fun moves with a little bit of dirt on it.

Fun steep climbing with a good rest, then some more steepness.  I thought the crux was after the second bolt.
