Description Start in a shallow crack on a slab leading to a ledge. Above the ledge, stay outside on the face rather than grovelling up a gully on the right. This puts you in a short, left-facing corner topped by a roof with a crack/seam splitting the headwall above. A fun move turns the roof but ends much too soon on a big ledge. One more clip on the wall above brings you to the anchors (shared with "Startled", which comes in from the right).
Protection Six bolts to a two bolt anchor with rings.
Help! What route is this climber on? I cannot fi...

| The move through the roof is a lot of fun! You definitely have to commit to it, but it is well worth it. |

| You know, looking at the beta pic, there's not that bolt under the overhang to this climb. OR, could be a mixed-pro climb being in the "Trad Lands". |

| Buff's right, no bolt under the roof. It's an easy reach to the bolt over the roof. Definitely not 10a, as listed in the new book. [Where they list it as Route 168, in the Overhang Area (Second Crag) section.] |

| Super fun roof, much easier than it looks and easier than the 10a listed in the new book for sure. |
