Alex getting into the P2 roof.What a nice 5.6 roof...
Description
The beginning is tricky and scary if this is your limit (the crux is before any gear.)
Walk a few minutes down the carriage road to the access trail. It is in the same area as Frog's Head, Sixish, and Maria. Start at a thin crack that angles up and right and then becomes vertical, about 20' right of Sixish.
P1: Climb the face left of the crack, traverse right (crux), and continue up the face to a big roof. Belay here. 5.8-, 100'.
P2: Angle out right over the roof (5.6), and then angle up left to a tree on the GT Ledge. 5.6, 80'.
Protection
Takes pretty good gear, but beware that the crux is before you put protection in.

Making one more move up on small crimps can get your feet above the polished crux and make the two move traverse right a bit easier. Doesn't make crux gear any better, just avoids the polished feet spot.
