Description:

The picture of this climb is on the Guidebook for the West Kootenay Rock. This climb is the first encountered on the lower wall and tackles the obvious large roof. The bottom section of the climb is quite difficult (mid 5.11) and can be protected by a small cam. After reaching the ramp before the roof, you'll need another larger cam before clipping the bolt at the roof. Heel hook like hell to pull the roof.
