Don't solo up to the pin! Bomber gear protects the roof and would keep you from tumbling if you fall from higher up trying to clip the pin. If you can't make the clip, lower down from the jug and drop off, and you'll be fine. Or place the 1" cam on the right side of the jug. I used a 1.5 offset Friend there, but I recommend NOT placing this unless you can't make the clip--placing this cam may get you too tired to make the clip. The top piece below the roof is a large Astro. You have to be pretty tall to reach this placement. The top 3 placements I placed blind by leaning right off of big sidepulls.
● I remember chasing that old aluminum bolt hanger around the stud...LOL. View Comment

● FYI, there's a nice bouldering area up the Young's Gulch trail, I think it would be worth the 10-15 minute… View Comment
