Description:

There are 2 start's. The original start had you stepping arcoss the gap at the base of the wall. The most common start is the same as the start for Hand over hand, only you go left instead of straight up. Pitch one traverse out left across the super easy slab(with no gear) to a belay on the "spine" of the slab. The belay is on a big horn/flake thing with a horizontal crack to the side. Pitch 2 goes staight up the slab to the large roof. And this is where the name comes from...after all that easy slab climbing It's time to step up and pull the 5.9 roof. There's a small crack in the roof for gear. Reach up over the lip and find a HUGE jug cut your feet loose and yard up! Once above the roof there are 2 variations. Either continue straight up through the next bulge at 5.9 or go left up an easy ramp at 5.7. Eiher way is good and well protected. Belay on the top of the dome. Walk/scramble off the backside.
