Description 

Climb the first pitch of Tagger via the description on the page for that route. From the belay, climb up to the second (crux) roof of Tagger, but instead of climbing out left through that roof, belay low and go up and to the right, traversing out beneath the flakes and cracks through the roof. This is certainly a much longer roof, but it is traversed rather than climbed and is relatively easy. Some loose rock is present and is of the utmost concern, as climbers are almost certainly below you on the ground or on other climbs.

After passing the roof, climb directly up to the ledge and walk off as for Calypso.

A standard rack.

The first time I tried Tagger the roof was pouring water. I did this to escape. It's an OK escape, but I wouldn't recommend it.
