Description:
The route is 5.9+s. Protection is scarce. The route is just left of Cruisin for Burgers. Scramble up to a broken ledge and traverse left to a right facing dihedral. The dihedral is 8+. Continue up to the roof, 9+ for even harder climbing on less gear. I'm a 5.7 leader and totally sandbagged myself into leading this route. I almost took my first fall on gear, wet myself and cried all within the 45 freakin minutes it took me to lead my pitch. It's a worthwhile challenging route. Do it.

very good route. The protection is very good at the crux, with one slightly run out section near the bottom. If your solid on eldo 5.9, you will enjoy this route. If your not solid at the grade, try something else first!
