Getting set for the lip.


Description 

A steep roof variation, not quite as hard as it looks. The holds are there it is just a matter of getting set and making the move quickly.


Protection 

2 anchors at the top of the 5.9's. There also might be anchors just above the roof. Otherwise 2 draws for the variation plus 5 more to finish on either of the 5.9's.

This route is pretty fun if you like bouldery starts. It feels V3-ish up and over the roof. It's just a matter of figuring out the sequence and moving through it efficiently. After the roof your just on a 5.9 face to the top.
