Description

Surely something like this problem has been done if not this exact line. The roof looks a bit chossy but the holds are fairly good.

Start on the left side of the back rail, move into the jug slot in the center of the roof and bust some crimps and bumps straight out to get to the lip.  A challenging mantle guards the top.

If you're over 5'-9" you might bang your head on the roof when you stand up like I did.

Location

up the center of the obvious eye-level roof right off the trail

The rock looks dubious down low but above the shelf the holds are solid.
