Description 

Climb an easy face to a high first bolt (don't fall!) and a good stance under the huge roof. Reach out and clip the bolt under the roof (note: there are 2 bolts sitting inches away from each other; one of them is very loose). Get your body completely horizontal under the roof and make a big throw to a great jug at the lip of the roof. If you're 5'10" or shorter, your feet will cut loose! Clip the 3rd bolt and make one more big move to establish yourself on the face above. Easier climbing on great incuts past 1 more bolt will get you to the anchors.

Location 

This is the rightmost route on Opening Ceremony Wall. Start below the huge roof; it is impossible to miss.

Protection 

4 bolts, anchors with biners.
