Description
After the 3rd roof, “Do you guys give up, or are you thirsty for more?!”
6 years after the first ascent, an extension to Stegosaurus Butte-y has been added!
2 more unique crack pitches that add character to the lower pitches.
I give you, The Roof Lizard!
“…Because in order to get there, you do have be a full-on roof lizard”
Pitch 4:
From the bolted anchors atop the 3rd roof, go right, and immediately tackle a boulder problem, 3 or four dirt steps gets you to the fun part. Climb up the flakes. A mini horn feature and hand jams gets you through the overhanging thuggery. The very upper flake has a 5 foot tall, large, detached flake, great for grabbing, not for gear. Place below and above.
Above the flakes, the (currently unprotected) 15 foot slab ledge crux awaits, or chicken out and climb right into a (currently dirty) short flake traverse to a tree and up a couple of dirty steps to bolted anchors and a comfortable dirt ledge.
Will update when pitch is more tidy
Pitch 5:
From the anchors, climb up and left up a ramp that leads to the beginning of a right facing corner. Climb the corner, take the gear it gives you. Two bolts protect where the crack closes up. At the small roof, traverse right underneath, stopping to place a semi-hidden #3 Camelot where the roof becomes a right facing corner again. Magical finger jams and face features lead you to the anchors.
Descent: rappel the route with a 70m rope. From the top of the 3rd roof, rap down to an intermediate rap anchor half way down the face left of the route.
big thanks to Hunter Anderson for helping clean and bolt.
