Prior to the tough start off the deck being added, Cocoa Team Special at Rylstone had a similar first ascent in ‘84, inspired by the Czech sandstone human pyramid action https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crags/rylstone-548/the_cocoa_team_special-363047

The whole Eastern Sierras are amazing. Great boudering, sport, trad, big mountains, ice, plus easy access to ski resorts and backcountry, as well as natural hot springs, great hiking, ghost towns, Mono Lake, etc etc. Definitely worth a visit.
