Description 

Start at the right side of the cave where the cave pinches off. Climb up the dihedral to the overhang. Take the hand traverse to the right and turn the roof. This line recently got another bolt added by popular demand to prevent ledging-out at the crux (end of the traverse out from the OH). That bolt was subsequently nearly pulled out on a lead fall, so I went back and put a 12mm bolt instead of a 3/8" just for good measure.

Kind of funky up the corner. Plenty of choss, some of it glued. I'd call it hard 5.10 (not 5.10-), but hey, it's Big Block.
