Description
Follow the slanting groove up and over towards the right arête before moving back left to the shallow crack leading to a series of small undercling roofs. After arriving at the last and largest roof there are two variations.
Move left for easier glory climbing on the 'Aftershocks' variation (gear, ~11c).
For a little more challenge and exposure, climb the 'Afterthoughts' variation by moving right towards a pair of chicken heads and clipping a single bolt. Enjoy a no hands rest standing on the chicken heads and resist the urge to clip the bolt of Tower Block Neurosis around the corner. Stay on the face and use a crimp in the seam to the left to enter a final sequence finishing with a slap to good edge followed by jugs to the top. Might bump the grade closer to 11d.
Rap the route.
