Notes: Polished sloper roof climbing!
Roasted & Raw, the new classic at the Underground.
Was a long sanding Proj. until Chris Lindner showed up
in the spring of '06 and bagged the FA. The problem also
goes as an excellent V7 starting from a jug at the lip
of the roof. An interesting sidenote to the FA is that
later that evening, Chris and several others guys decided
to take an "alternative" route back to the parking
lot, got lost, and had to stay the night up on the mountain!
Just don't mention anything about "shared bodily
warmth" to them...heh!
The problem starts at large huecos way at the back of
the roof. Pull huge moves on porcelain smooth slopers
to a thin crack with crimps that lead out the roof. A
jug"let" at the lip offers a marginal shake
out before finishing up a technical and strenuous headwall.
The problem finishes about 15ft. tall with a somewhat
spicy landing area.
