Description
A 12' roof crack starting fingers and quickly going to hands then OW. Circus tricks ensue to gain a wide horn at the lip.
Location
This route is on the northeast side of Escape Rock, right off the trail that leads out toward Room to Shroom or the Don Juan Boulder. The roof is high on your left, easily visible, several hundred yards past the dam/Rat Rock area. If the lake is dry, the approach is a straight shot. If full, skirt the right/east side of the lake and eventually back around the north end, this is a better option than crossing the dam and doing endless slab traversing and boulder hopping.
