Description:
A really wicked looking crack running through a roof on the right hand side of the formation is this crack. Be careful of the loose block about 20' up. From the top of the crack, head up and a bit left, joining Byrd Pinnacle Left to the top. Difficult for the grade.

Rare to see anything sandbagged at RR, but I call it on this wide roof crack. Just full on burly, more of a 5.11 than 5.10 no matter how you approach it. Just the roof section of course, otherwise 5.9 at the most. The key is two edges on inside left wall of knee crack. Stem, then dyno off of right knee jam to reach first edge with left hand. Then bounce again to reach second one. Good stuff. We did all the routes at Byrd Pinnacle including the less than desirable 3 pitcher to the left. With Joe A and family.

fun 5.9 variation to the left
after climbing Byrd Pinnacle Left, we Tr'd the variation that goes up the left-facing corner around left of the roof. Fun crack climbing.

after a couple of hangs, i lowered off to let Gabe have a go. He sent after pondering for a bit, unlocking the secret. I followed this time w/o resting...tricky stuff.
