This large impressive roof with excelent rock quality would get much more traffic if it was easier to get to. It is located off the Moore's Wall Trail loop below the Fire Tower (don't miss it) and can be approached 3 ways.

Traverse left and after the second pillar, take a right up the steep descent gully BEFORE you reach the Throne Cave & Ampetheater. Alternatively you can approach from the center of the park via the Visitor Center Parking and Moore's Wall Trail loop (heinous stairs). Or from Two-Mile (2-miles of flatness followed by a mile of heinous climbing). The last two approaches are more like the approach to Upper Choas Canyon at RMNP.
