Description This ascends the obvious roof crack via a cave. The crux is reaching up with the right hand and reaching for a "sliding pinky slot." From this reasonably good hold, one pulls the feet up and finishes off via lieback move or two. Thrilling route. Highly recommended

"...The original name of that climb was "Worsman's Roof". Ed Worsman was the first to toprope the moves between the two of us. At that time, there was still the stump of a tree sticking out of the upper crack (I had cut the tree off and left the stump as a part of the climb). Eventually the stump rotted out and left that just less than perfect sized crack. I got the first free lead and actually used the stump as protection by slinging it. I doubt it would have held even a small fall! Fun times, those were...
Anyway, look forward to chatting with you one of these days.

| This climb takes gear for a lead quite well. Very small cams to 2". It appears there were once pins at the lip of the roof, making nice alien pockets.
Very difficult short crux. Tape recommended. |

| Pins were never a part of this climb. Back in the day I lead it with just slung stoppers and wired nuts. I don't know who added the anchor bots at the top, but those were never necessary either. There's a huge bolder that you can sling with a long piece of webbing. But whatever... |

| I remember this being rated 5.10b (20 years ago). Definitely easier than Double D, even before the crux hold broke off on Double D. Good climb to lead. |
