Description Suggest change

A classic and fabled roof problem that probably gives no favors to shorter or taller climbers. The free climbing of this former aid route was unlocked by local legend Pete C. on TR a long time ago... The first bold leads of the line came from influential DLFAers Rich Bechler and Steve Sangdahl.

Start at a seam below the obvious roof with a crack running through it. Thin moves will take you to a small bulge and a large hollow flake. The thing is pretty solid though, and on lead you are sticking wires in behind it. Some big moves through the roof to the jug is the crux boulder problem, and holding the swing was the most terrifying part on lead. If you blow it here you will get hurt no questions asked. As Dave would say, a career ending fall.

Location Suggest change

Great tower, East face.

Protection Suggest change

At least its a light rack! small wires, small cams, and a couple hand sized pieces for the top.
