[Hide Comment] A great mix of styles, well protected. If you plan to TR put a longer draw in at the roof reduce drag. Jun 20, 2016

[Hide Comment] The route slants to the right. So the anchor is bit right of the start of the route. Be careful of swing if top-roping. Aug 2, 2016

[Hide Comment] Rope drag adds up after you make it past the roof. Start with a little chimney move and climb up to a ledge (bolt will be slightly below you) to make it a little easier. Fun and stays in the shade most of the day. Aug 12, 2016

[Hide Comment] There are two super cool roof moves, one to get in position under, one to get over. A lot of fun. Jun 2, 2019
