Description Face climb up face from the left to crack through roof. Launch out the roof to the end. Turn the corner on the tip and pull up onto face. Hard moves lead to easy scrambling to a tree up top.
Location between Shumont Mountain and Hanging Chain area
Protection takes multiple #3 camalots and other gear.

| I blatantly aided the thing. Ed and Shannon (see photos) are making great strides towards freeing it. |

| I'm sorry, and I'm sure that I'll get an ear-full but what part of that roof is 5.10? |

| David- the approach up to the roof is 5.10 and most of moves out the roof itself are not that hard; individually. The jams are pretty good, the pro is bomber and the fall is clean. Ed predicts it will be "only" 11+. Probably will go soon. We just haven't been back lately. |

| Ed Williams, Shannon Millsaps and I went in there today in pretty iffy weather. In one of the finest displays of climbing I have ever witnessed, Shannon fired the coveted FFA on his first try since last year. Let's say it is 5.12. |

| It's really great that FAs like this can still be found these days. Great work. You have truly created a "Back in the day" hardman story to tell future generations of climbers. |

| Any beta on finding this thing? Didn't notice it on my way to hanging chain yesterday. |
