Description Suggest change

This is a Pinnacles anomaly- A full on Roof Problem. Short and very gymnastic. It's all go from the moment your feet leave the ledge.  Fun and powerful. Crack and roof skills are required.  

Kelly Rich had the vision, but we both lacked the skills. We placed what is now the second bolt, kinda botched the placement, and promptly got shut down on the next few moves. It took Mike Carville to figure out some key wizardry to unlock the next section.  Finally, with his beta, we were able to send after more than 4 years.  

It had been a cryptic aid problem that appeared to end at the lip (there was a bolt there, and some fixed pins below) but no evidence that it had ever been finished, nor was there a bail sling or carabiner on that last bolt- a mystery.

Location Suggest change

Just right of Cosmos, on the North end of Discovery Wall. Directly over the trail.

Protection Suggest change

Three bolts and a #3 Camalot in the Roof
