Roof Route

Scramble up the 5.easy arete then traverse right under a small roof, which is the crux of the route and feature the only moves that make it worth climbing. Top out after a couple of roof pull moves.

An alternate start would be to ascend the dihedral to the right of the arete, just left of the Flake Route. Moss, dirt, and sketchy smearing diminish the quality of this start.

The starting arete is the corner directly ahead of you as you approach from the river.

Unlike some other routes here, there are no anchors. To place a toprope, sling the tree at the top of the route (pad your slings, please). The crack just below the roof could take gear if desired.
