Description 

Easy climbing leads to a nice intro to roofs. Work those feet up as you hand-over-hand it out the large horizontal flake under the roof. Pull that bad boy for more easy climbing to the top.


Location 

Long broken crack to a roof in a highly impacted area. Maybe 200' right of the 'descent gully'.


Protection 

Trad...take some small to medium cams, half a set of stoppers, and a handful of small tricams...there's good gear all over this route.

If you're planning to go to the Gunks, this is good prep for roof moves like the one on Shockley's Ceiling. I consider Cashmere slightly sandbagged at 5.7. I wasn't ready to lead it last time I was there, but I will lead it next time.
