Description
This turned out to be a really good route. Interesting moves, bomber pro, and good rock. It is like a cross between Super Roof and Moosedog Tower.
Climb the approach crack and lob in some med cams or a giant stopper or two. Get up under the roof and sink the bomber pro (2.5" cam) and suss out the roof moves. Get established in the roof and plant a 4" cam into the roof. Move right onto the face and after a couple of easy moves you are at a belay spot up and left of the roof crack.
Belay takes stuff in the 2" to 3" range and don't let your rope get stuck in the roof crack.
Descend over the top and down to climbers left via an easy scramble. Follow the worn rock.
