Description Suggest change

Begin on the fun scoopy sidepull of MoAbs. Once you’ve gained a big flat jug, break right towards the center of the Desert Roof, essentially reversing the crux of Sandstorm, then finish with the brutal power moves of Straight Outta Projects V8. Essentially, climb a V4 into a V7, into a hard V8. Finish on the ledge, and walk left to downclimb the roof crack by the tree. It’s much more comfortable than Sandstorm, as it avoids the nasty razor crimp, and has more interesting movement. Not mentioned in the recent Leich/Griffith guidebook, but pg. 52 covers the Desert Roof and other lines mentioned here. 

Location Suggest change

In the Desert Roof, 200’ climber’s left of the namesake large roof of Roof Rocks. 

Protection Suggest change

3 pads is nice, but two is doable. Flat landing without rocks.
