When you get on top of the roof, instead of walking 20 feet to the left to the bolted anchor, we stayed straight, and followed the crack to the base. There is a two bolt anchor on the right of the crack, but I did not see it as it was covered with lichen(My second saw it, who knows how old it is, not shown in Watts' book). The crack is offwidth but a 5.5 with ledges. Takes big 5 in gear or 20 ft runouts to smaller gear placement. 15 ft up from start is one 2 ft diameter boulder teetering on a small ledge, climb past it without touching it.
