Description
Getting to the top of the roof without going up through its middle. Thoughtful sequence, but moves not as much fun as some other routes nearby.
Start left of the crack, uphill where the big roof is closer to the ground. Get above the roof. Step right to the crack. Up a little then exit right to the rounded corner.
warning: Loose rock is still a concern here. Belayer or other members of party should not stand anywhere near underneath the climber.
. . . (Lots of vegetation on this rock as of 2016. Be prepared when climbing to navigate around protruding trees and branches, and dealing with holds slippery with grass, lichen, moss, dirt).
