Description

Sometime before June 2019 the flake in the roof was ripped off. The problem can no longer be climbed from the original start. A stand start is still doable but the grade is unknown.

ORIGINAL: Start low under the roof on jug rail. Move into the roof to a flake hold that sticks down from the roof and faces downhill towards the river. Then move to crimps at the base of the face and then work your way up through the face to top out.
