Description Climb up to a crack in the roof (hands/fists)and work left around the roof. Continue to the top using the crack and face holds.
Location Locate a roof with a diagonal roof branching to the left. The route starts below the roof and traverses around it.
Protection Standard top rope setup, placements a little scarce on top bring lots of webbing. Leadable but no pro for first 10 ft or so (5.6ish) until you reach the roof. Pro gets a little thin at the top as well. Can share a TR with Y.

| Watch out for a good sized toprope swing if you blow the lower half. Multiple cruxes, the lower half involves awkward off-width traversing and the upper half is just strenuous. An interesting route overall. Watch out for birds (living, sometimes dead, and nests) in the chimney at the route's start. |

| Great lead if you have a little bit of large hand to fist sized gear. Fun to work through the bottome crux and move out left under the roof when you're on the sharp end. |
