Description

A powerful bouldery sequence leads up to a roof with great holds. Rest above the roof before tackling the thin section while trending left to finish.

Recommend using a longer draw on the 3rd bolt (under the roof). If you are going to work this climb on top tope, recommend using a rope bag or something on the top near the anchor as the high friction rock will eat your rope for breakfast (+ add extra rope drag).
