Description 

An interesting short problem in the giant roof between Roddy and Jackie. The start has a few moves of crimpy slab climbing, then reach up and start pulling the obvious, chalked up holds on the roof. A sequency and somewhat powerful crux.

A harder variation avoids the good holds and uses the loose flake undercling to the left.

In 2010, the tree just above the roof was felled by a storm, which may radically change the anchor situation for this route.

Protection 

Slightly Roddy is usually TR'd, but the gear seems ok. Set up a TR from Roddy or Belly Roll.
