Description
A must-do line. One of the absolute best in Chattanooga.
I didn't find any move to be harder than 5.10, but well, there are in fact (at least) five roofs on this thing, which adds up to quite a handful of steep sequences.
Start up a moderate chimney. Place gear as far towards the lip as you can manage (a reoccurring theme if you'd like to avoid rope drag), then traverse around the steep bulge on major jugs. Continue to a ledge, gear at lip, pull another roof! Repeat once more, then cut left up the obvious corner weakness.
One more roof crux awaits. Conquer it and sail to the chains
