One of the more interesting routes in the entire park. I did the roof on lead and then did the hole on top rope. Hole is the way to go I think. Tricky off width section. Lie back into a slab move sort of to get out of it. Doing the hole is just awesome...this is what Jtree is all about, screwing around with unique features. Only had one 5 and 4 so just ran the rest of it out, real easy ground after the initial roof section. Rap off climbers right.
