Description
Forbidden Fruit is marked by a very impressive 45-degree overhanging prow top out.
Climb the first four bolts of Grow A Pear and instead of following the chimney, start stemming up and out until you can reach a good enough hold to pull into the overhang. Most people don’t stem high enough. Trust the jug and let your feet cut wildly. Two more bolts and steep jugs (with a few long reaches) land you on a giant clipping jug above the chains.
It would be possible to exit the roof out left, but that would actually not be any easier; it is very dirty, mungy, and without any protection or anchors. So enjoy the overhang and one of the steepest routes around here.
