Commencement
Description
On the left side of the first of two large roofs after the Hoosier Daddy feature, locate a slopey pinch for the left and three-finger sidepull crimp for the right. Pull on and climb straight out along the left arete of the roof through foot trickery and tensiony moves until a small two-finger pocket is gained with the right hand. Move left hand to an edge up and left on the vertical wall, with intermediates available (mostly blind). Move up and right to top out via the tall arete. Watch for sandy holds- water runs down this arete in the rain and deposits some dirt on the wall. This finish is tall, though it eases up after an insecure move to a pockety jug on the upper arete. Rapping over the line to brush it up and make a plan for the top is recommended.
Location
The left arete of the first of two large, blank-ish roofs in the Roof Sector, beyond the roof with Hoosier Daddy. Starts from a low stand with a slopey left pinch and flat sidepull crimp for the right hand.
Protection
Several pads. The crux is low, but the arete is insecure until midway and the holds are often sandy before a good brushing.
