Description:

Climb out the roof above the chains of "Diving for Rocks" [The original 12a grade was for topping out. That topout is tried alot but few or none succeed--there's hardly any headwall to climb. As of Jan '11, most/all Ascents in the database are not topouts, and opinions average to 11b. I hope no one minds my edit of the route data to 11b. --Hogge] City approved gear added to the roof 12/18/04

4 out of 5 stars SEAL!!!!!

Woah! 11a turns to 12a on just two extra feet of climbing! I got the send, but unfortunately looked like a seal topping out on a boulder gasping for air.

4 out of 5 stars No top out yet!

I'd really like to see the sequence from someone topping out. I just could not do it. But I will keep trying (to bad I am not in Austin anymore)
