Description

Access the ledge below the headwall on the Mummy Buttress via whatever means you like. This line goes up a slabby dihedral and then pulls the roof bulge. Pretty fun climbing, not overly sustained.

Location

Top of the Mummy Buttress

Protection

NC rack. It's safe but pumpy to protect.
