Description 

On the far right end of Delancey Rock, use a lieback flake to reach a small roof. Pull the roof and continue up and left on nice plates. Although this line is bolted it could just as well be led on gear. The roof is not as intimidating as it may look and my friends and I all thought the route went at 5.8. I think it has cleaned up a bit in the lower section, making the climb easier than on the first ascent.

As a variation, you can start on the same flake at the bottom, but follow the crack up to the anchor. This is a very nice finger to hand crack that goes at about 5.8+ if you avoid using the block that leans into the main wall. For this variation, take gear from thin to 2" Rappel to descend.
