Description

Head up Squirmney and towards the top cut right following a thin seam. Follow the seam for 10 feet clipping 2 rusty pitons (Don't get too excited Royal Robbins didn't put these in, I did). Then put in another cam and pull up to the top.Throw a directional in for your bud and clip the bolted anchors.

Protection

Light rack, 2 rusty pins (already fixed ready to clip), and bolted anchors.

[Hide Comment] Fun finish from Squirmney. Past the pitons and coming up the right side of the roof, you encounter a shallow crack with loose crystals. With some finagling you might be able to find a placement, but seemed pretty marginal to me (and was getting pumped) so I opted to not place anything between the pitons and the finish. Those moves are powerful but juggy/secure from the pitons. Falling while coming up over the roof could certainly result in a sprained ankle with the low angle slab below, but minimal risk of decking.
