Description 

Climb a beautiful, yet sustained 15 foot overhanging roof crack, located to the left of Short Subject.

Absolutely stellar yet challenging hand/fist jams to a fantastic pull at the lip.

Becareful, deck potential is possible if not careful on this route!


Location 

School rock, look for short subject, and look about 15 feet over to see a very distinct hand fist overhanging roof crack, don't mistake the thin finger overhanging crack to the immediate left of short subject for Karl's Overhang!

Start is a distinct fist crack into roof crack.

Getting down is a scramble back down


Protection 

Cams or/and passive from .4" up to 2", an optional 3.5" might be useful, doubles in .5-1" useful.

No anchors at top, build your own.

This was a fantastic climb, the moves varied and challenging. Definitley a must do!

-caution-challenging gear placements.

Does it merit a pg-13 rating since pro is hard, or are the actual placements good? I remember looking at this a while back, but I don't remember...

Due to the flaring nature of the crack the placements are not obvious, however with some hunting, there are some bomber placements, the challenge is finding the placements while hanging upside down on some interesting jams! The route isn't quite PG but neither is it G.
