Classic power endurance traverse tackling a continuous line of holds along a 45-foot-wide roof. Start on a jug at the far right side of the line of huecos. Around 30 feet of brilliant moves on steep jugs and slopers with tricky feet get you nice and pumped for the crux which is roughly the next 12 feet. Burly moves on slopey holds and severely undercut feet culminate with a powerful bump off a small, sloping edge and a wild match on a right-facing jug. Keep it together and crank through the finishing jugs to a topout that's a bit trickier than it looks, especially with forearms that have been turned to Jell-O. As far as traverses go it doesn't get much better than this.
Location
Right-left traverse of the line of holds under the roof. Walk off.
Protection
Most of the traverse is low to the ground with the exception of the crux and topout, bring enough pads to cover (or a spotter to move your pad.)
Check the section page for the location of the wall. It's really hard to describe exactly where it is, just walk into Howard's Draw past Bad Ass and look very carefully up on the side of the hill on your right, you will know it when you see it. Any attempt at more detailed directions would probably just be confusing.
