Free climb or hooks off the ground treding right into a right facing corner. A couple of tricky moves moves and a huge gut busting reach to a suspect pin gets you into the roof proper. Easy aid gets you to bolted anchors under the roof. A second pitch is easily possible.
Location
Starts in the middle corner of the left roof or about 15 feet to the right of The Argonaut.
Protection
Light nailing rack (blades), hooks, single rack cams/nuts.

High and Dry was freed as Sewer Rat, 5.14a, by Dave Sharatt. The free route starts as per High and Dry. At the anchors, it heads right across the hanging feature and out past the roof.
It's probably best not to nail this route, as it has gone free.
That's incredible, when did it go? Pictures? Did you get to see it go down, all the aid routes are slowly drying up :-( But it's great to see them have new life breathed into them. I remember the gear being, umm, aid like. Was any new fixed gear added? The moves into and traversing out of the roof must have been amazing! Isn't that anchor in a weird spot.
