Description
The second pitch (or extension) to Cambrian Grey. The name came from the guys at MountainWorks. When we were discussing the possibility of the route, the guys mentioned something about it adding to the legacy of a historic route.
It always seemed strange that Cambrian Grey ended so suddenly in the middle of the slab. We peeked over the roof several times and thought, "wow, that looks like fun." The resulting route is a great addition to an already great route.
Look/feel for some small but positive crimps to get past the first overlap. Moderate slabs and small short challenges typify this line.
It is very possible to do the whole thing as one long pitch.

- **I changed the rating given all the comments that it was underrated. There used to e a nice flake for your hand that made the initial roof pretty mello. But it may be gone now. Once there is a consensus, we can officially get the rating right.
