Description 

From the CRAG-VT guide: Begin at right-facing blocky jugs directly below diagonal
crack ~ 15’ off the deck. To right of Beginner’s Slab. Climb jugs to diagonal crack
leading to roof. Make awkward mantle under roof, being careful to protect the roof
moves via mini dihedral crack off left-facing corner of roof. Pull cool moves through roof
and follow diagonal incipient crack left, then face moves and horizontal cracks to twobolt
anchors. PG 13 protection: standard rack with small pieces.

-----------
The crux will be a grade higher for the shorter climbers (5'5" and shorter), I think, as they will need to be a bit dynamic to reach the jugs to pull the roof.

Location 

Center of the wall. See the 8 foot high, 20 foot long hole in the middle of the cliff face? Climb a fairly straight line up through the middle of that.

Protection 

Standard rack with small pieces.
