Leader pulling the fun final roof of target practice. Big holds and big exposure close out the end of the route. Fun in the style of the nearby DC Comics route but easier. Just watch out for loose blocks.

From the top of either Lemon Twist or Frank's World step across to the other end of the large ledge to build a gear belay at the base of the big crack under the looming roof and climb through to glory above, exiting through the slot between the two big buttresses. A bit easier than it looks but still featuring a challenging (well protected) move or two.

Leader at the lower face section of target practice near the first bolt. Probably a good idea to place a piece of gear to protect moves through the chossy rock guarding that bolt. Enter via a shelf out left and traverse in. Route crux is in the orange face about 20 feet above just before you move left to approach the roofs.
