| This is not a project...The roof is very easy, and contrived....the crux is turning the lip. |

| This route is very fun, regardless of the grade or glued holds. It might be a good idea to anchor the belayer to prevent a possible ground fall if the climber was to fall when turning the lip or fumbling the clip above the lip. |

| 12a seems about right for this climb. I felt is was easier then sandstoner reverse though, so could be 11d. 12c is very generous. Super fun climb. |

| Any beta on how to turn the lip? what are the holds like above the lip? Where should you clip from once you come around it? |

| Beta at lip is the crux toss to a deep 2-3 finger pocket. Then proceed up the face on the best holds you can find. They are better to the left of the bolt line if I remember correctly. |
