Description:
Probably one of the most recognizable routes on the Book as it cuts through the arching roof just left of the Howling at the Moon Dihedral. Start about 15' left of said dihedral, jamming a 8+/9- flaring hand crack, to a set of bolts about 20' below the roof (there is also a pin immediately to the left of the bolts). Follow the thin crack (10a/b) to a short traverse to a giant bolt below the roof. Jam to the crack cutting through the back of the roof and out to the break in the roof. Make the move over the roof (crux, 10c) and belay here for good communication. For P3, follow the right arching layback crack (9+) to just below the cave. Pick your poison for the exit, but I suggest Cheap Date.Descent Options:
Pick an exit pitch (Cheap Date, Outlander, The Cave, etc.) and then take the descent chimneys to the east (low fifth class).

Really good route
P1 was tons of fun. P2 really put me to the test and I'm really glad I didn't fall. The rest, well, it's real good after P2 and eases up. It was tons o' fun.

Followed Guy
OS P1, then followed Guy for the rest. Absolutely one of the best routes out there by far! Finish up on Cheap Date for a spectacular finish!

Lightning City
Finished this in a light slushy rain. Typical CO summer day, I guess. Easy to link pitches 1-2 or 2-3, though watch for drag.
