The roof variation


Description 

Climb up the chimney for about 30 feet until a roof blocks your way. Face traverse left and gain a wonderful zig-zagging hand and finger crack. Continue up this crack to the top.

Highly recommended variation: Start left of the huge roof on the left. Traverse to the right under the roof, utilizing a tips to off finger crack (awesome). Pass the roof and set up a semi-hanging belay. Continue straight up the great zig-zagging crack to the top.

Descent: Walk right and rap from the bolts for Dovercourt.


Location 

About 30 feet downhill, left of Dovercourt.


Protection 

Nuts and cams: small to wide hands. Extra tight hand pieces make for a nice belay on the variation.
