T-Roofic Detour

5.10d, Sport,  Avg: 3.6 from 95 votes
FA: Jean Hudson, Scott Hudson
Texas > Austin Area > Reimers Ranch > T-Roofic Wall

Description

One of the best 5.10s at Reimer's. Start on a tufa with good holds and climb to a ledge and the first bolt. Step right onto the main face, and then continue up and right to the second bolt. Head straight up from the second bolt and climb through the rocky overhangs. There are a couple of sketchy moves just below the anchor, but they are not bad. T-Roofic is a well bolted route - each clip protects a tough move. You don't really realize how much the route overhangs until you rap. Fun route, not to be missed.

Location

Climbs up the right side of the large roof in the center of the T-Roofic Wall.

Protection

Five bolts to a two bolt anchor.

[Hide Comment] The 'Tufa' described above is either missing, or a poor description. The start of the route looks more like a big slide, big slab of not very steep limestone.

Otherwise, awesome route with big fun moves separated by good rests... kinda like four "one-move-wonders" stacked on top of each other. Jan 24, 2012

[Hide Comment] Apparently the alternative to this route is a direct start from the beginning just under the first bolt. In the book (blue cover - color photo) it says the rating is an 5.11a. Not sure this move makes the route any more difficult but it does take out the possible swing in the beginning. The fun moves are just after this anyways. Mar 25, 2013

[Hide Comment] Sketchy start, but this climb is nice and pumpy at the ledges, and would be better if it wasn't polished as hell. Jun 18, 2015

[Hide Comment] 3rd and 4th bolts are still spinners! 4th is very loose. Nut and screws were still very secure though.

Start is tricky til you reach the first of many great jugs. Long climb with fun moves up to a hard finish to get the anchors, tired hands will have a harder time holding either the small side-pull out left or the mini ledge just beneath the bolts. All falls are very protected and overhung! Nov 16, 2020
