Just after pulling through the roof.

Description 

Big and burly is the name of the game. This route is 2 to the right of Perfect Crimb, and starts up the face to the big notch in the lower roof. It's pretty sandy on the first face so be careful climbing to the first bolt. From there, catch a little rest under the roof before setting out for the sprint to the anchors. Pull the roof and then move left around that hanging flake and onto the next face. I've heard you can knee bar somewhere up there but I never tried. Pull the next roof and finish on good but pumpy jugs and edges. Then attempt the real crux of the climb, retrieving your notched biners, because you are too cheap to buy notchless ones.

Protection 

Bolts. Please use your own gear for top rope. Please bring an extra biner and if the ones up top look bad or don't easily clip or shut, please replace it. It's good karma.

Also, you will want to use a long sling for the bolt under the big roof. Even still you get some rope drag up high.
