Description
Steep and sweet! This is the roof looming above Scarface and Boy with a Coin which can be linked with either pitch below or climbed as a separate pitch.
A new anchor at the top simplifies the descent - a 65 m rope gets you directly to the ground. Otherwise the descent is slightly involved: make an anchor on a tree on top of the buttress and belay up your partner. Walk up and climbers right to a rap anchor. A 60m will get you down.

Notes:
- Can be led with one #4 and a tipped-out #3. More safely led with two of them. Gear: double #1, double #4, #5 or #6.
- BRING A NUT TOOL. The features of this crack's top out lend themselves to sucking in cams above the roof. We had to lasso out a deeply stuck #1.
- The top detached flake is best protected with wide cams (#5-#6 or both). Not hard. Just a bit insecure because of the lichen.
- Enjoy the panorama of the main valley and the full face view of Lost World!
- You will find a rap station at the top of the route on a tree, consisting of a length of rope and a carabiner. Rappel off of the near side of the buttress (60m will make it), and it should deposit you next to the start of Foe-Hammer. Apr 14, 2015
