Description

This is a fun alternate finish to “Rags to Riches”. Climb Rags to Riches to the large roof near the top of the climb. Lean out right to follow the center crack line, likely with a bat swing move. Pulling the roof is easier done feet first if you have the flexibility other wise you may need to bump up the ratting.
