Description
Start up short cracks to connect to a prominent right-slanting crack that leads up to a high alcove. Continue up and right to a roof with a dangling down-pointing flat loaf. Surmount that roof onto a welcoming juggy slot that finishes up easier terrain to the top.
Note: the nice edge above the high alcove and halfway to the roof felt flexy, so pull down, not out. Shouldn't have to crank full body weight onto that anyway. Wild moves to reach the roof using features around you -- will just leave it at that to not ruin the surprise and fun. Fantastic getting to and also over the roof.
Some might deduct a star due to the hollow or sandy bits here and there. I won't hold that against it. The roof is excellent. A good climb once it cleans up. Well worth the moderate scrambling and short walk from the road.
