Description 

Crux is pulling the roof. There is great gear to be had at the roof and solid rock on the most difficult sections of the climb. The top portion of this climb has bad rock and may possibly clean up with more ascents. Definately wear a helmet on this route, especially if your the belayer. Climb with caution on the last third of this climb, the rock is very questionable and there is a good possibility that you will pull of a huge chunk of rock onto your belayer.


Location 

On the climbers left side of bumble bee wall you will be able to see a pedestal. To get on top of the pedestal either climb fowl play and rap down to the pedestal with a 60 m rope or walk around the west side and hike up some loose rock. This route is on climbers far right of the pedestal and follows an obvious crack system with a roof followed by more crack climbing.


Protection 

Standard rack. Takes nuts really well. 2 or 3 camalot for the roof. Runners to reduce drag over the roof and natural gear to build an anchor at the top of the climb.
