This route, as shown in the Bartlett guide, turns the roof to the right and follows the thin crack straight up. The crack reached by traversing left under the roof can be climbed directly from the ground at 5.7 or 5.8.

Worthwhile if you are climbing in the area, lots of sun. Turning over the roof is fun.
