At the crux of the route just above the cool thin ...
Description
The initial part of this climb ascends a thin flake for the first 15 feet (crux). Gain the ledge and go left up a finger crack to a small roof. Turn the roof to the left or the right. This route is easily rigged for TR from the top.

One of my favorite 5.9s in White Rock. Really fun moves on the flakes lead to cool stemming in the upper dihedral up..
Gear through the crux opening twenty feet is a bit tricky. TCUs, link cams, or big stuff (#4/#5) protect this reasonably well. I've heard small nuts get the job done as well. Anyways, its there, you've just got to be creative.
Maybe a little easier than Upper Left Roof, but more fun IMO.
