Description 

This is a great route! Would be deserving of more stars if it was a bit longer. Start on a low boulder below some underclings and hand jams. Make a difficult move to get started and head right at the 2nd bolt. From here, find a kneebar, then continue straight up to the 3rd bolt. Get a quick shake and traverse up and right to reach the 4th bolt. From here, keep it together and head up into the short dihedral below the roof. At the roof, hand over hand traverse left to reach the monster jugs at the lip of the roof to make the final clip. Pull the roof using huge jugs to make one on the most fun moves on the climb to gain the anchors. Overall, the climbing is fairly sustained throughout with a few shakes here and there.
