4 out of 5 stars roof not as good as you want it to be!

Cool route, but just pick a line and GO when you hit the roof. I spent to much time and had to race the pump clock outta there..

3 out of 5 stars So you ask yourself...

...where are the downpulls. After the crimp move, this route really shines. The roof is fun, but getting up ont the face above is fantastic and fun. Neat moves unlock a really cool sequence that involves a remarkable lack of downpulls.

5 out of 5 stars Sunset sometimes sucks.

I so could've redpointed this on the second go, but it gets dark so early, and so quickly in November. I could'nt find a critical elbow to palm jam 3/4 of the way up, and was reaching for horrible slopers instead. That screwed up my onsight. I breezed past the thin crimpy early cruxes, but was stopped my the above mentioned move.
