Description 

The Roof Area of the Quarry is home to a variety of fairly long vertical to slightly overhanging routes as well as several that breach the massive roof system which hangs overhead. Routes here range in difficulty from 5.11b-5.13a with most in the 5.12 range.

Recommended routes here include Delirious (5.11b), Nostalgia (5.11c), Leviathan (5.11d), Swank Nostalgia (5.12a), Vendetta (5.12b), Hanging by a Thread (5.12c), The Zone (5.12c), Trepanation (5.12c), False Alarm (5.12d), Triple Trouble (5.12d) and Mojo (5.13a).


Getting There 

Most easily approached from below via the good trail that leads to the Right of the Roof Area and walking left. It's also possible to hike up the trail at Slab City's right end and then head right past the Left of the Roof Area.
