This will put the fear of God in you. Climb Woody's Arete to the roof, and traverse the lip on a series of features under the lip of the roof. Originally climbed with a unique “slingshot” rope soloing system created for this route, it was bouldered a few weeks later.
Likely the most dangerous climb in Coopers, but also probably the best roof climb in the whole canyon. An obvious line of perfectly sculpted holds, resistant movement, and a classic jug finish. Though it’s not cutting-edge in difficulty, it’s one of the lines I’m most proud of here. The overall level of experience required to do this route is very high. Bouldering V12, soloing 5.12, and sending 5.13 trad are reasonable pre-recs for someone seeking to send this line. I had to invent a new rope soloing system to climb it on a rope first, making it especially memorable. I climbed it second go on the rope, and I think I did four more laps before bouldering it.
