She demonstrated a lot of strength during this struggle, with much of her weight on her arms.

Crystal begins negotiating the roof.

under the crux

Many options exist. This being the groin jam technique.

Of course, it wasn't entirely over. Here she approaches the second roof, which some find more difficult than the first. (But not Crystal--she cruised it.)

He stopped and belayed in the middle of the pitch, at the top of the corner above the first crux roof. A very good idea if the follower might have trouble with the roof.

Some good exposure, although you don't notice it when doing this move, since you can't even see your feet, let alone the hairpin turn.

My lead of the money pitch. Thank you Ashlee for the picture.

Success! And she managed to maintain her sense of humor.

Even my 6'7" husband, Pawel, was stretching to make this reach!

Elbows, thighs, whatever it takes.

Gearing up for the roof crux on P3. There are abundant placement opportunities here.

I'm leading Shockley's as the last pitch of a Strictly from Nowhere linkup.

the intermediate rap right below the ceiling is a bit crunched, but at least I got a seat
