Description:
A shorter route with a technical face and nice roof. Use small gear before the first bolt - back it up - build in some redundancy because the gear isn't great here. Watch the fall onto the ledge as you are traversing right and going for the first bolt. Clip the first bolt and head up the face to the roof. Place one or two solid pieces in the crack under the roof before heading into the crux. Due to a broken hold during the placement of the bolts while on lead, the crux is considerably more difficult than before - probably in the upper 5.10 to low 5.11 range. Clip the second bolt and make a few more moves to the top.Descent Options:
Rap from chain anchor.

I really dug this route - will be a classic with the bolts, I think. Quite thin but not too steep start leads to fun roofs. My recent good stint of Arkansas climbing paid off here. Didn't get it clean the first time and it was time to head out or i'd have done so on the second effort, for sure.
