roof crack crux

thanks to jen (manat315) for this photo, though it doesn't capture what a wrestling match I made of this "hard 9" roof crack. Are you supposed to kick the key pro, repeatedly? This is said to be a "good intro" to roof cracks, since you place your pro from a good stance before you pull up into the business. I was psyched for the redpoint it after hangdogging the hell out of it following berkly a year ago or so. Herndon's rad for soloing it on the FA - maybe "only" 5.9 but, who knew? The pro's so bomber, too! Same with roof corner, which I haven't even hit yet. Let's call it "preserving the onsight," shall we?
