South Face Direct

A personal favorite.  From the southern courtyard locate one of the 4" cracks running along third story windows.  Climb the arch below the crack then jam up the crack to the roof.  Traverse towards the summit belfry where a short sprint up a slate shingled slab reaches the roof ridge.  Traverse to the south side of the building and undercling the coping down to a large landing (exposed!).  Throw a rope around a pipe jutting out from the wall above the belfry door and climb to the summit.

Descend by threading a rope through one of the eyebolts that secures the grounding cable to the roof and rappel.

This building is occupied until midnight on weeknights, so plan accordingly.

In the courtyard on the south side of the building.
