Description

Update: people that are stronger than I have called this harder than 10, so I bumped it up to V11. Time will tell!

Army of Darkness has sustained climbing out a horizontal roof: crimps, pinches, slopers, underclings, foot jams, heel toe cams, and lots of tension. I am giving both lines V10, but I’d say Army of Darkness could be harder and Dark Shadows could be easier.

Location

You can see the boulder up on the hillside from the parking. It is a large, square boulder sitting on the edge of the cliff band. You can approach via a deer trail that skirts the hillside above the ditch. It is not super obvious. I would recommend approaching it from the trail.

Protection

The landing is pretty good. The problem covers a lot of ground from the back. 4 pads and a blubber was perfect. I shifted all the slabs from the back of the roof to form a landing. A spotter could be helpful for the end of Army of Darkness. A pendulum swing off the cliff band would not be very fun. I fell there a few times and was fine.
