Comments: Pretty much just slab climbing in general...I'm not a big fan.
Fathom is a classic though...most prominent feature on the mountain and all.

Comments: Precisely. Well thought out pro and situational awareness required above the ledge for sure.

Comments: I think you are correct. "Wally's Roof" is a specific route name whereas I mistakenly refer to that whole bigass roof as Wally's roof.
I mainly posted this because just the first pitch alone is a full value route in and of itself. I'm surprised it doesn't get done this way more often, especially since you rap right over it if you bail after the crux pitch of Punk Wave as many do.

Comments: This route also has an A3 second pitch out Wally's Roof via some nailing...and a third that takes it to the top.

Comments: The start REALLY detracts from the overall experience on this thing. ..not because it's extremely hard...just unpleasant. That said...the rest of the route makes that bit of thrutching down low absolutley worth it. Amazingly fun up high!
I rate the start 5.stupid and the rest 4 Star 5.7

Comments: Getting in touch with MC for info on this thing has been like trying to find Waldo...hence the name.

Comments: This area has seen a recent makeover in the form of much cleaning and the addition of two new sets of anchors. Hopefully this will facilitate enough traffic to keep it clean.

Comments: This thing looks alot better now. I excavated the vegetated crack in the upper middle of this photo revealing a nice left leaning finger crack that takes good gear.

Comments: I think I may have set a record for the most times back down into the scoop before firing it off (at least five)...only to find that the hardest part (for me) was going from the crappy right hand jam up left to the "thank God" hold. Woops... totally blew the onsight. Dammit.
Fun roof, PERFECT fingerlocks. A must do.

Comments: There is now a two bolt anchor atop this line. The climbing stays on the blunt bulge right of the first two bolts, pretty much directly over the third, then straight up between the left angling finger crack on the left and the wide right angling crack on the right.
Still needs some traffic to keep it clean.

Comments: I gave this thing a good scrubbing today. Definitely a step up from the other 10's on the White Wall. Needs some traffic.
10+ / 11- or some'n like that.

Comments: There is gear before the first bolt on the ramp leading up to it. 00 TCU or equivalent.

Comments: The final pitch is kinda chossy and runout. Good position, though, and a bit of problem to solve on the exit moves.
Good fun.

Comments: Killer face and friction climbing on P1...followed by an exciting exercise in classic Cashiers Valley watergroove stemming on P2.
Probably a little bit better protected than most of the other stuff at BG...but still...DANG! Don't fall.

Comments: I sincerely hope this was just an oversight by an uninformed party.
The bolt has got to go though because this is a really good moderate trad route, and the TCU placements on it are solid.

Comments: That first pitch is a little left...more like B.T. Express. P1 of PP is completely hidden by the big tree except for the traverse.
That is a handy tool for drawing topos though John. Very Cool.

Comments: This route is about as "5.8" as Stannard's Crack or Tits and Beer.
Leading the second pitch made me think I was about to orphan my son.
A VERY serious endeavor.

Comments: I tried to find out as much as I could about this line before I put it up. Jacobs and Crowder tell me this particular line on the Friction Slab hadn't been led. I will gladly give credit where credit is due if it has.

Comments: It moved when I pulled on it.
I still put gear behind it down low, and upside down on the far left because...well...just because...LOL. Guess you have to be there to understand. :)

Comments: Yep, Yep...SWEET lil incuts. "Footsie" and reachy in spots...way fun.
Thanks for the retro-bolt Jody! (He originally placed just TWO...wtf??)
