Description 

This is a new route (autumn 2007) up the roof-to-headwall right of Earth Angel, on the Tarot Wall. It climbs out the body-length roof via a sort of inset corner before railing left along the lip to the head up incipient cracks on the headwall.

Someone had drilled holes for anchor bolts at the top, but didn't put the bolts in, so we used those. The roof is the business, but the headwall is pumper than it looks -- very sustained for Boulder Canyon and a top-quality line...


Location 

Ten feet right of Earth Angel, out the body-sized roof in the middle of the left side of the Tarot Wall.


Protection 

8 bolts to two-bolt anchors; slings or extendo draws helpful on bolts two and three.

Thanks for submitting this route! Still working the roof, this is a pretty stout route.

Thanks for putting it up. From the ground, I thought (hoped) the roof would be the business and the upper half would be more mellow. Nope. Spanked me. Nice and sustained. Very nice line.
