Brice floating the roof on "More Funky Than Gunky"


Description 

A great dihedral line. The true sport climber might feel as though the line is closer to 9+, but if you have any crack technique you will be constantly debating: Do I pull on the pockets or pull on solid jams and locks? Climb the right leaning dihedral on solid lock, until it fades into a small roof just before the chains. The crux of the roof is getting your feet over the lip, and as is often the case flexibility is one your best assets here. Hold onto the jugs and clip the chains.


Location 

The central dihedral on the formation.


Protection 

7-8 bolts to anchors.

The roof on this one feels great. It's well protected, but still big enough to make you feel like a rock star.

last time I was there (June 08) the bolt below the roof was gone... Is this still the case? If so, you're looking at a 30 foot fall if you slip before clipping the bolt at the roof.

I was there in late Aug. Though I can't remember the precise location of the bolts under the roof, I don't recall any absurdly long run-outs.

Thanks Josh
I should have been clearer. The bolt hanger was missing! Not the bolt. I'll bet some kind soul put one back on there.
