Mad Max

Description 

Amazingly powerful climbing on a steep roof.

Start low in the cave and move up and out with your best heelhooking, pinching, and core tension techniques. Slap for a good spot on the lip and then prepare to mantle and creep up the slab to the top.

Also try the much harder Thunderdome variation that continues out right.

Location 

Straight uphill from the Yosemite Highball boulder. Look for the huge black charred tree that is 10ft. from the problem.

Protection 

Crashpads and a spotter or two
