Description:

An awesome route for its grade. About 100 feet right of Roseland is a boulder pile. Scramble up this and climb a crack to some roofs, then head left to a ledge. Angle left up the face to a huge belay ledge below a huge corner. Climb this awesome exposed and overhanging corner to the top.
