Description
Follow bolts up towards a small roof 20 feet off the ground below the very large roof about 100 feet up.
When at the roof, clip the bolt and step around the left end of the roof on smears to a shallow, left-facing corner. The first crux is gaining a small ledge in the corner on smears with poor handholds.
Place a small cam in the thin crack, and climb onto another small ledge.
Step right out of the corner onto the face and clip the bolt. The second crux is using smears and small holds to reach a second thin crack system to the right which trends up and left to below the very large roof.
Climb the thin crack using jams, smears, and several chickenheads. Slings can be used on the chickenheads for protection.
Follow the crack up to the anchors.
