Description:
An awesome route for its grade. About 100 feet right of Roseland is a boulder pile. Scramble up this and climb a crack to some roofs, then head left to a ledge. Angle left up the face to a huge belay ledge below a huge corner. Climb this awesome exposed and overhanging corner to the top.

easy and happy
Not sure I would recommend the variation in the "black dick" on P2, unless you are a solid 5.6 leader. Once over the roof, you go into what I call the "rollies"...undulating waves of rock that do not accept gear. P3 is the money pitch, BIG huge jugs with easy climbing. INterestingly with all those big jugs, the opportunities for gear are sometimes rather limited. Since it's such easy climbing, it's probably better to climb through to a spot where you can put in some bomber pro.
Watch the cams on the P1 traverse, they tend to walk and become "fixed". I clipped 4 fixed pieces on this route today, 3 out of 4 were cams!
