Description:

Situated above Rubber Lover, the crux is encountered at the roof. Arguably, the finest climb of the grade at the Lake. Look for the knee-bar rest at the 2/3 mark to take the sting out of this ones tail.

Oh baby! This is the 12a to do. Pumpy, but with lots of rests on the way up. The roof crux is a bitch, but remember to face right when pulling over and you should be okay.
