Description
Well-protected, powerful crux near the ground. After the crux I protected out left for the next move. Then go up through the smooth dihedral to gain good pro. Move left under roof until you get to weakness and head up to crow's nest belay/rap anchor.
Note - The original attempt was to do one aid move using a cliff hanger on a flake just above the middle of the roof. The flake immediately broke loose while testing it. The original route passed to the right of the roof, not the left.
