Nick pulling over the roof.


Description 

2 pitches right through the middle of the roof (other routes on the left and right side of the same roof) on the left side of La Selva, then up to the bottom of the bowl.

Start at the huge huecos behind a 12' tree.

P1: 5.8 climbing to the roof, then using the huge jugs to work you feet up, then find a side pull ( reachy if you're short) to find more jugs and get your feet over the lip (5.9+). Climb a little higher past 9 bolts, 130 feet.

P2: 5.7 climbing straight up past 6 bolts.

You can rap with one 60M rope if you skip the first belay on this route and go to Warifikis on the left.


Protection 

bolts as above

I remember following my wife on the first pitch and thinking to myself that the roof bolting (where the crux is) was pretty spacey. My wife thought nothing of it. It was probably average for Potrero routes, but this was one of those times that I had to actually reflect on it.
