Pat Burwick eyes the roof on MBA.

Description 

MBA climbs toward a small roof just right of Feeding Frenzy. It starts up a distinct face on somewhat sparse pro that picks up an R rating just below the roof. Some tricky hands and fingers gets you to a stance just below the roof. Snag the roof and a clip and then power up to the anchors. This was originally done straight up for a 5.11b move, but is frequently done by slipping a bit to the left, and this may knock off a letter grade. Good stone, nice movement, and a bit spooky on the sharp end.

Protection 

Bring half a dozen draws and something for the double-bolt anchor at the top.

Addendum: 2 bolts added. Originally a trad piece was used to clip the bolt on the overhang and that was before the feet got all slick. A low bolt was added, too.
