Description

Climb moderate (5.10) terrain to the base of the roof and plug some gear. Get psyched for puzzling feet first sequences as you boulder out the roof. Once established on the face, more 5.10 climbing takes you up good holds and a lichen covered face to the top.

Location

This route climbs the obvious crack system out the left of side of the Giant's alcove.

Protection

A single rack from about .2-#4 BD should get you up just fine. Fixed wires at the base of the roof to aid cleaning. Cord with a steel rap ring around a tree at the top for anchors, placed 9/14.
