Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description A classic roof problem that serves as a great introduction to harder roofs.
P1: Climb the small left-facing corner to a small stance. Surf right then back left through a deceptive little sequence. Head up the main left-facing corner to the roof. Pull over this (crux) to arrive at the fixed rap anchor.
There is a second and third pitch but most rap here.
Location On a face 40 feet right of Maria and 15 feet right of Sixish, below left side of the obvious roof.
Protection Standard rack, microcams or slider nuts may be helpful.

| Worthwhile, quite strenuous. Largely ignored. I did this with a friend who weighed almost 200 lbs. He couldn't do the roof and I lowered him with my head braced against a tree, on a waist belay, shirtless. Nice slow rope burn. |

| first pitch is nice; thoughtful 5.7 or so to the roof. make sure your gear under the roof is solid as the moves over the roof are committing. reminds me a bit of the roof on Birdcage. |

| I just tried this tonight in the dark and took the whipper! The roof is reachy for me at 5'5", but I probably missed a foothold.. |
