Description
This beautiful laser cut roof crack is one of the best cracks in the jungle.
Begin on easy terrain before pure fist jams lead you to a 4' roof.
Jam through the roof on fists/cupped hands and only 6' and a few roof moves await you before clipping the chains.
It is recommended to place a BD#3 in the last roof crack above and left of the chains as a high point for your 2nd.
Then redirect the rope through the chains. The anchor placement makes things a little funky but allows for zero rope drag and possible 2nd pitch (11+).
This route protects like a dream and is a great introduction into wide roof cracks. It remains shady all day and is blocked from the wind.
