Description

Start the nice overhanging arete by awkwardly sit-starting on another rock. Pull onto the arete and make a few fun moves up before making a hard compression move out left to some slopers and then execute a committing topout.

A fun line that is a beginner version of "Numb Thumb".

Location

From this boulder, spin around and walk up and left about 15-20 yards to a hidden roof. (You have to get on top of a few smaller boulders in order to find it) This problem climbs the right arete of the roof.

Protection

1 or 2 pads and a spotter for the topout.

from old descriptions about location of certain blocks this seems to be an old Kemple route. Wether or not he got the FA is unknown. Jul 31, 2023
