Description Suggest change

This is a tough climb! I'm not sure how the fa duo started it, but I found a thin and reachy sequence up the slabby face below the roof. Turning the roof is definitely the crux, but stay psyched for the runout above.

Location Suggest change

Follow the approach to Crack in the Woods, Hand Jive, et.al. Look for the two bolts above the obvious roof just right of Crack in the Woods. Rap off of chains.

Protection Suggest change

2 draws, maybe a small to midsize cam for a seam under the roof.
Can be TR'd. Clipping a bolt for directional is advised to save you from a nasty swing.
