Follow existing trails and climb using removable protection or in climbing areas with existing approved fixed anchors or bolts. Development of any new rock climbing, bouldering or rappelling areas and development of any climbing routes involving the permanent installation of new fixed anchors or new trail construction requires prior Forest Service authorization.
Description
Did you come to Fortress for The Battlement and Thunder Chicken? Well if you did, don't leave without doing this one.
Climb the first pitch of Bedtime for Bonzo then head about 75 feet to your left and locate a 4 foot hand crack through a roof. If you hit Days of Rage then you've gone too far.
Funky arm bars/chicken wings/fist jams get you to the roof. #3 protects the funk but #4 is probably better. Wiggle up into the roof (#2) and battle over the lip. A #3 or #4 will see you over the lip.
I didn't leave webbing so either top out and rappel BTFB or bring some webbing for a tree.
