Description Awesome climb, corner to layback to roof/corner to layback
Endro-crux
solid placements all the way up, beware! watch out for placements that will create bad falls (near roof section).
This route has a bad habit of eating gear, so be careful with your placements so they don't become fixed gear!
Location climb is obvious overhanging corner on east side of main junkyard area
Protection Solid gear (normal rack), make sire not to leave it in the climb as there are always a few cams that are fixed somewhere in the initial arch of this climb.
Moving on the second roof. '97.

| As of 25-Aug-2011 there was a Wasps nest inside the creacks right at the anchors. Someone had written a note in chalk on the wall at the start of the climb warning me about their presence but I figured heh... maybe that an old note. It wasn't and I got a strike to the chest. Luckly I had just clipped the second anchor and dropped out of range as the little buggers swarmed... can't ruin my OS! |

| This is as good as 5.9 gets. Felt stout at the grade, much harder than New Yosemite. Definitely a must-do if you're at the Junkyard, even if you lead much harder. |
