Description This route is pretty straightforward until you get to the roof. Then it's a hand jam and a long reach to a jug in the middle of two cracks. Some fancy footwork (a toe jam and a heel hook) will get you to the top. The guidebook rates this as a 5.9, which is way off. Count on something harder.
Location This route begins on the left-most of the three cracks that are Papa, Mama, and Baby (left to right, respectively).

| If you can do a pull up, this one is not too bad. Probably a bit sandbagged at 5.9, but there is a huge jug past the lip that you can cut your feet loose and swing from. Its probably 5.8 just getting to the roof, then power moves after it. |

| Is this leadable on trad gear? It's listed as a TR but it looks feasible, if a little spicy lower down? |
