Escape from LA

Start at the bottom of the far right corner of the large roof system. Climb straight up to the corner, traverse left under the roof and out.

Fairly easy climbing up the corner (after a somewhat interesting mantle at the very beginning). The middle of three sections of roof is very challenging, followed by an easier finish.

This is classically graded 5.10a but feels extremely stiff for that grade, even by Gunks standards.

Far right of the large roof system. The higher roof next to the (much harder) LA Roof.

Trad gear to 3". Can be top-roped only with a lot of care and two ropes. Due to massive swings this requires one top rope at the finish of the climb and one set up near the East LA anchor (or near the corner of the roof) to deaden the huge pendulum swing.
