Desert Solitaire (III, 5.11a, C2) ascends from either of the brown dihedrals at the cliff base left of center, climbing up and right to the brown "open book" corner, (or the varation lightning bolt cracks left of that) and then through a pitch of aid to the upper cracks, leaning left to reach the right side of the prominent skyline rock in this image.

Kat battles it out for a jam elbow deep into the crux of the Lightning Bolt variation for P3 on Desert Solitaire. This is considerably harder than the dihedral pitch but equally good.
Just below the short aid section.
Dave moves up the very enjoyable 5th pitch.
