BETA PHOTO: Looking up at the crux of Shoes for Industry.

Description 

Easy low-5th-class climbing to the roof. Make one well-protected ~5.8(+?) move to get up and over, and then it's uneventful 5.6 with good gear to the top.

It's kind of a letdown after the roof, and therefore probably not worth the anchor/downclimb hassle.

Location 

From the base of Cave Woman, walk left 50' through some bushes and start under the small roof. Descent: go up and over into the gully, same descent as Cave Woman.

Protection 

Tips/finger-size gear for the crux. Std. rack to BD #1 or #2 for the rest. Big gear (BD #3, #4, big hexes/nuts) and some webbing is sufficient for an anchor at the top.
