Description

Start hugging the large block at the bottom edge of the huge roof on a big jug and side pull. Move to the edge and then work right up the face and overhanging arete until you reach the arete at the end of the roof.
Awesome variety of powerful and techie moves. No move is particularly hard, but endurance is a must.

Location

The Vandal boulder is the huge house size boulder uphill from the Governing Dynamics boulder. From the XXX boulder go uphill past Proper Modulation and turn left. Walk under the Strappo boulder and continue until you find the huge roof on the uphill side of the Vandal boulder.
