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.

A nice warm up on a 47 degree morning
We wanted to check the temp of the rock before we climbed. So, we warmed up on Gelsa. Always fun pulling jugs. Traverse is ho hum.

Finally.
Tried in the Summer and rapped off the chains for time sake to get home. Came back in the fall and made the climb. Took turns leading with my 11 year old and it was a blast. From the pics, I missed the 2nd belay ledge and made my own anchors on a tiny ledge mid way up the third pitch. It worked great and was one of thebest 5.4's we have done still.
