Description
This fun but poorly protected climb moves through the left side of the obvious overhang about 40 feet to the left of The Trough. The crux is moving through the roof. Not for the faint of heart. Anybody feel like adding a bolt or two?
Location
Start below and on the left side of the arched roof, just to the left of the broad black water stains.
Protection
3 bolts for the whole route mean the potential for a ground fall. First bolt is 25 feet off the ground, 2nd is just below the roof, and the third is 10-15 past that. 2 rope rap anchors on top.

This is a fun and spicy route but I have to admit, I haven't led it yet. Nice, delicate moves bring you to the roof. Surpassing this is a real fun move, definitely the crux and I'm sure very heady on lead.
I guess the start was runnout but the real climbing is fine. I do remember trying to get up the guts to lead this for a while. It was a real thrill when I finally did. Not nearly as bad as the runout might look.
