Details
Please do not litter and observe all regulations. We had to fight to regain access at one time, and we don't want to lose the privilege again. Local ethics and refuge regulations are that no bolting is permitted unless expressly authorized by the park. Leave the hammer and nails at home, no fixed gear please. Everything will go clean.
Description
Just above the top out of Flying Nun is a short roof section. The left hand-sized crack is Little Roof, the right fist+ sized crack is 'Sloth'. Start directly under the crack, climbing up 10 ft of easy face to a rail below the roof. Here, you can place a 0.1 cam in the thin seam on the roof, or, reach to the jug rail in the base of the crack and place a cam or two (0.5-1) overhead. High hands and lay-backing gets you over the bulge where you gain a mossy finger crack and establish yourself on easy terrain. An anchor can be built directly above Sloth with cams at 2/3.
