Description:

Climb the corner/crack from the base of the Rusty Trifle block, then diagonal left to a right-facing corner. Up this to a ledge and belay tree. Surmount the roof on the right and up to the GT ledge. Walk left a bit and climb a right-facing corner up to the top. The gray "Dick" has upgraded this climb to a 5.7 for P1.

3 out of 5 stars super fun roof traverse.

A great climb! 2nd pitch out the roof is the best.

5 out of 5 stars Lead it again to retrieve our anchor

First time I lead P1, second time I lead p2. P2 lead is simply the best. It's a roof to a traverse (exposed) to another great roof. Just reach over that second roof and GO! It has great hands. At the start I traversed left on easy climbing, didn't put in and gear until you start going up to the roof. Extend all your pieces (long runners) until you are ready to pull the second roof. I had no rope drag at all. The rest of P2 is a beautiful cruiser. Such a great climb, so much fun.

5 out of 5 stars Oops we left our gear at the top of P2

This is a great climb. New DIck calls P1 a 5.7, I agree, there was one distinct crux that felt 7ish. P2 is awesome. Why isn't this a 3 star climb???

4 out of 5 stars ***

P1 - 2nd time doing it, a green cam is helpful.
P2 - 1st time on it, a cool move after the small tree. some long slings would help.
