Description 

A left facing corner with a huge crack in it to a roof, to another left facing corner. The business is the crack and the roof. Lieback or whatever to the roof, then make the nice moves out to your left. The corner above goes down pretty mellow.


Location 

left of the Desperate Straights corner.


Protection 

Take large-ish pieces, generally good protection but be thoughtful about rope drag. Take some tied slings to redo the anchor (around a tree).

that tree is pretty hollow looking. you can use bolts from the climb to the right to belay. the roof is really fun

The anchor is scary. I rapped off it and prayed all the way down. I doubt it could handle my weight after a big meal.

Tree anchor is lousy and dangerous. But fun climb.

agreed. the tree (read, small bush) anchor is lousy. i don't care how many slings you put around it, it doesn't make it any better...
