Description
Scramble onto a ledge to begin and climb the imposing roof above, which is easier than it first appears. The descent is down easy ledges to the climber's right.
- Take care not to get your rope stuck as it happens more often than you might think.
Location
Super Roof is the obvious roof crack 15 feet left of a prominent off-width roof crack - Comfortably Numb.
