Sick roof crack. Sit start on finger locks and the arête, pull on more wicked finger locks and the arête to some thin hands at the lip. Or climb the roof as a compression line without using the crack at about the same grade, I think.

Didn’t even try to flash, warmed up on the exit as it seemed tricky and it was for me. Once I found my beta I flashed from the bottom moved and took it to the top. Another Tahoe beauty but a softy. Low felt more full value, not that butt draggy at 5’10.
