Description:
This climb is left of the right arete in the crack on the corner. Climb straight up along the crack to the roof and negotiate the roof.The guidebook gives it two stars and says it's worth finding out. The climb is kind of a ladder that get's interesting and fun at the roof, but is probably fun as either a simple warm-up or beginning trad route.

Fun first climb of the day. Roof is mostly a mental crux, easier once you are up there. Plug and go!

Helps to have some height for the roof bit. Jams are real solid once you turn the corner.

Ascent Note
Definetely easier this second time around. Didn't have to lie-back the crack a few feet before the roof like I did last time. My partner, who led it, gave me some beta on getting over the roof, so after hanging a bit to pych myself up, I got over with little problem.
