Description 

AIRY HIGHBALL!!!, i have determined this a V4- but the book says V3 climb the large dihedral to incuts , then traverse left under the roof to a large pinch. reach back and right to the horn/jug. straight-arm and palm the horn to reach a SMALL! incut crimp in the small dihedral left of the hanging arete. putting your feet up to the horn and stemming onto the slab, make a DELICATE move out to the hanging arete with plenty of air beneath you. reach to positive lip

Location 

the obvious roof next to the splitter crack

Protection 

i would advise a rope, this is extremely airry and after the first couple moves there is nothing that a pad would protect
i used a BD #4-5 to protect at the top, but there is also this cool anchor at the top that i have use but bring a few runners to avoid rope drag, because the edge is SHARP!
