I know people don't dig the slab much anymore but there is a pretty good slab roof on dark horse! spicy, improbable, but well worth the effort.

The crux of Head On (.10b) is a short roof.

G Gav I know it's up bells but what about the Besnia route Cutting Loose. ? Extra good roof crack status!

Ya good call Dono. Turns out that route was actually an old Lowe route.

Two that I haven't done but are on my list are Eagle Roof in the Altered States Gully and Supercrack(roof?) on Superslab, which won't be dry for a bit. Anyone free on Easter? 3157715659

Not as much an extension as a variation a la the Trinity's.

And I thought 'Smack my Bishop' is the Wheeler Route?

Does any body think the Coffin Roof is fun?

I've only heard words like, 'painful' and stuff like that?

Clay:
If i could send the coffin roof it would be fun. As of my last effort it is just unfun. Nice list Greg. Guess i have my work cut out for me.

Has anyone been on The Slash that's on here? Looks tough!

The Coffin roof is awesome, and if you send it first try, not painful at all!

go get on it and give us the beta. looked like lots of overhanging .75's when I saw it.

recently did "dumb fun" on the keel and that is another traversing roof to add to the list.

fallen arches 2nd pitch is as "roofy", ie traverses under it, as trinity right or dumb fun, so could be added as well.

"stump the stars" has a short overhanging section at the top but likely not a true roof.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
