Description

The crux is getting over the small roof. However, getting to the roof isn't trivial either. The route eases up considerably after the roof.

Location

Just right of Battle Crack. On the west side of the crag.

Protection

This route could be climbed with trad but would require some runs and not so good placements. Recommended that you top rope this with anchors from Battle Crack.
