Description
Approach as for R1 through R3. Further along this wall at the last tower (before the Tri-Level), you will find a bolt line. This is Moving Over Stone, 5.11. Just to the right of this there is a ramp leading right to a bolt (the direct start straight up to the bolt is very thin 5.10). This is R4. Climb past the lone bolt to the crack in the roof. Up this to a large chimney.
Long route with lots of pro available.

Protection
Small nuts to yellow Camalot. Descend by rappelling off chains into a chimney on the backside of the formation. Move to the anchors of R-5 and rappel to the base.
