Pulling over the crux roof.
Add Photo  Printer View
Description Awesome thin crack just left of "Bottomless Topless".
Pulling the roof will be the crux for most, but if leading, the top is pumper and a wee bit heady. Awkward, hard to see placements past the 2/3rds horizontal "rest".
Location Obvious chalked up finger crack with a roof about 25' up on the front side of Snowshed, just left of the 10a chimney, "Bottomless Topless"
Protection Thin rack, an arsennal of small cams up to about a 2" piece for right above the roof.
Or better perhaps, just set up a TR.
Some trickier moves higher up.

| One of the best cracks i have done so far. If you are up for the grade then this is a must do. A crux roof leads into thin lyebacking on perfect finger locks. Awesome and sustained! |

| A great climb to push your trad ability to the next level - good protection and good to fall on. Took a 20'+ fall about 10' above the horizontal - 0.5" friend held perfectly |
