Description

"Coltrane Roof" is directly above "Coal Train" and can be an extension to "Coal Train" but is far better if one starts from "5.10 in Bminor".

Climb either of those lines, then move up into the corner with the maple tree stump. Awkward and Unintuitive, but not too difficult, movement will get you set with some hand and finger jams to pull around the roof and to the anchor.

Location

Start preferably from "5.10 in Bminor", or alternatively from "Coal Train". Ignore the "Coal Train" anchor and move up into the corner below the roof.

Protection

Whatever gear you used to get to the corner, plus a QD, #1, #.5, #.3. Extending lower gear with runners will help a lot with rope drag. Ends on a two bolt anchor with rappel rings.
