Description

Wow, this is an amazing addition by a local legend. Bust through the steepest part of the big roof in the superlative area, taking an obvious line of weakness that maybe only the boldest of choss wranglers would tackle, until you get up there and realize the rock actually quite good! Climb through the wild roof with memorable, satisfying movement in a crazy cool position with cool holds, try to shake and or clip (or neither) at a stance once the lip is pulled, then tech your way to the anchors pumped silly. This is a phenomenal route with a little bit of everything.

Location

It is the king line of the superlatives.

Protection

Good ole bolts and hangers.
