Make sure to put pro in above the roof in the crack to the left to protect your follower and keep the rope from sliding along the sharp edge of the roof if they fall. This happened to me on Saturday and we core shot our rope.

Thanks to Greg and Jeremy for motivating me to continue after finishing the crux! The top of this route went way easier than I expected!

Flower of High Rank in Feb. A bit more difficult when you can't feel your fingers but always a great route.
