Description 

Work up and right on somewhat polished holds below the roof (crux) and work left under the roof and fire to the top. This route protects well and makes a good first trad lead or beginner climb.
A 5.6 variation if you go right from the roof.
A 5.9 variation if you go stright up through the roof.
