Description 

This climbs the juggy roof just right of Madison Avenue. They share anchors. A nice climb with a big pull at the beginning. Very enjoyable roof climb. The climbing eases up, later on. This is the reason that I only gave it 1 star. The roof begs 2 stars, just not a consistent enough climb. Do yourself a favor and do this climb.

4 draw for the route plus 2 for the chain anchors

The Ruckman guide rates the route as 5.10d, but their topo indicates that the crux is 5.11a. The roof sequence is not technically challenging, but requires just as much physical prowess (if not more) than Black Monday (5.11a) just around the corner. Just my thoughts...
