Description
This is a funky finish that is quite a bit harder than the rest of the route.
Climb "Katz's Deli" to the bolt. Instead of moving right as for the standard finish, continue straight up past a small wire or cam placement. Above this, the wall bulges out. Get a cam below the overlap, then stand up and clip the bolt (out of sight) for the crux. Surprisingly techy moves get you through this and under the roof (check out the cool crystals under the roof!). Clip another bolt above, and pull the roof to lower angle terrain and an optional small cam placement. Find anchor chains at ~ 95'. They do not have hooks yet.
Thanks to Alan for suggesting this one!
