Description

A compressed traverse sure to challenge the lankier among us, but no cakewalk for shorter climbers either. Start with two hands on the obvious crack, then work your way right staying under the low ledge - feet anywhere you want, but no hands above the roof. Avoid touching the loose rock in the center of the traverse, as it is unstable/unsafe, but the horizontal crack to the right of the loose rock is good once dusted off, and there is one good pinch just under the roof. One option is to mantle the roof in a classy "waiter" move. Finish with two hands on the low sloper around the corner. Roll off to dismount!

Location

On the face parallel to the parking lot, nearest to the entrance. The route crosses under the low roof resembling a shallow cave.

Protection

None (except for your ego)
