I haven't been down south this season, but it's getting to be about that time. This line in the Swell still needs a free ascent.
The top part is a bit foreshortened in the picture, but the corner is about 100' long of #4 to #6 Camelots. I blew my lead attempt on it last fall, but then figured out how to cruise the route via foot cams, hip/shoulder scums, and hand stacks on top rope. The correct technique definitely lowered the difficulty from 5.11 to 5.10, which is significant for me in the desert (5.11 there is hard).
