Description 

The crux of this climb is straight off the deck. After figuring out the initial tricky moves, fight up bolted slab on crumbly rock to the roof. Jug over roof on big, hollow flakes (there's a suspect pin stuck behind one of these, clip at your own discretion).

I would not recommend this climb. Rossiter gives it a star and Gillett gives it 3... If you do decide to climb it, I recommend an umbrella for the belayer to protect him/her from the pebbles (which are also your footholds) that will certainly rain down. I'd also recommend a light breakfast, I'm not sure how much the flakes on the roof are gonna hold.

If there is anything (climbable) left after this thing cleans up, then it might be a worthy endeavor.


Location 

Bolted line left of Lycra Bikers from Hell.


Protection 

Bolted, bring draws. Can be a bit run-out on very small, crumbly feet. Not for the faint of heart.
