Description:
Ever wonder what that giant roof at the top of Dark Shadows goes? Well, with some scary pins and bolts, along with a piece of wide gear or two, you too can climb the route that received its FFA from Richard Harrison, John Long and Lynn Hill back in 1981. Good luck, that's a scary one!Descent Options:
Double rope rappel straight down to link back up with Dark Shadows.

Find some heart
Great route. Only wish there where anchors directly after pulling through the roof. The hardest section of the climb is the first 4-6 moves, afterwards its prob 5.8 at best.
