It might be a good write up, but I couldn't finish reading it because the combination of the background color (aqua) and the text (brown) was too hard on my eyes.
Ouch!

Christopher E. Brennen - Hike H3. Tenaya Canyon
“And quite abruptly you arrive at the top of the inner gorge where a dramatic, vertically walled canyon has been cut into the valley floor. You will notice several flat ledges on the right side of the canyon. Your route is along the large, lower ledge. But before taking that path, it is interesting to climb a few feet up to the higher ledge and follow it about 60yds along to a place where S.L.Foster carved his initials in the wall (37o46.75'N 119o30.16'W). Foster was one of Bob's predecessors in that he made annual trips down the canyon from 1909 to 1937 and this spot is now known as the ``Initial Ledge''. Someone has also installed a register in a plastic case in an alcove next to the initials.”

I believe its something like thisQuote

Most of the pitches on Snake Dike are the near the bottom, correct? And then there's one higher up, sort of like the route's Hillary Step, consisting of a shelf you need to climb over. I'm just trying to remember what a couple of family friends said about the route.
Ignore my evaluations on climbing. It was just my impression that the Silver Apron is tougher.
