Description This one seems to get harder every year...Though it is graded 5.7, I still feel like I'm going to fall every time I do the first moves.... The foot holds have been polished to a marble finish by years of use, you're welcome for the excuse, now forget the grade and climb the route 'cause it's still fun no matter how slippery the starting feet are....
Climb the crack up under the roof place a few good pieces and follow the crack out right and up to a ledge, find the good feet.... A great climb with good gear.... You can also exit the roof to the left or straight over at a harder grade but the right finish is the most fun....
Location Near the left side of the upper cliff is a crack corner heading up to a triangle roof.... This feature is hard to miss....
Protection Regular rack to #1 Camalot.... Belay or TR from trees.
Pulling the Roof on a beautiful spring day.

| This is an awesome route, if you are top-roping the route check out the faces on either side, they're fun as well. |

| Start is the crux. The crack in the dihedral is full of dirt (as of early fall 08), so jamming isn't really an option. Using the face holds I think bumps the grade up a tad. The roof section is way easy compared to the first 15 feet. |

| it was nice and clean when i was on it a couple weeks ago... i find that a mix of jams and crimps works best... right hand in the crack left hand crimp up high and a high left foot, then you are in it... |

| I did the face to the right today and it is really fun, probably goes around .9 or 9+ by Pway standards. |

| If the roof is wet it becomes the crux, had a very interesting encounter with it this weekend. |
