Description:

Two pitches of forgettable easier climbing reaches the huge ledge at the base of the infamous roof. Climb easily to the base of the roof(don't place until just below it to avoid rope drag, and then get 1 or 2 pieces in), pull it, and climb the steep face above.

5 out of 5 stars Fun from bottom to Top

What a great climb. I always forget how much fun it is. We took Molly up this climb; her first day at the gunks, her first multi pitch. She did a great job. Never met a newb quite like her...no whining...she just figured out the moves.
