Description
After walking the plank a bit up and right you are able to stand under the bolt just above the roof. Here you can put in a real small cam in a slot just under the lip of the roof. This might save your life if you pop trying to get a real small wired in just above the roof. Now you need to do the move, or at least some of it, before clipping the bolt above the roof. Some sort of standup move will lead to easier climbing and additional protection hopefully as needed.
