Description:
Past the Gash of Death some thirty yards or so past the broken slate like roofs. Route finding on a sport route? Somewhat. Route gains steep face then moves up through several tiered roofs. Name came from first on-sighter's broken slab that landed more than close to belayers legs. or perhaps it was in deference to the beginning of the First Gulf War?

Fun, but a bit chossy
Start is heads up. Bait chossy before the final roof. Fun though.

balance as well as pump
a few balancey face moves to a series of pumpy roofs - the holds are all there and are pretty big, but don't waste too much time up there

Target Practice
Great View. Belay the second from above. Significant rope drag makes top-roping difficult.
