Description
Mako roof makes its way up though some steep blocky features before making a throw for a horizontal beneath a large roof. A very pumpy hand traverse leads to a somewhat desperate clip and a V3+ boulder problem to establish on the large flake. Clip the 3rd bolt and go up about 6-10 feet of much lower angle rock and clip the anchor. An extension could easily be added to this route as the steep slab continues up another 20 meters of so. While there aren't any showstopper moves on this, the boulder problem is pretty powerful and it comes right at the end of a very pumpy traverse and the long throw to the horizontal. If you have the traverse and clip dialed this may feel soft in the grade, but the onsight may feel stiff. The rock quality is superb with good friction but not sharp.
