MapChalking the Ham
Description
Chalking the Ham is a rightward traverse below the Y2K roof. Start on a right-facing jug below the lower, ground-level roof, and traverse right, making big moves of great holds until you can get established below the tight dihedral. I don't know exactly what hold marks the end of the traverse, but a reasonable end is to get your hands established on a hold not under the roof.
The guidebook called this V4, but it seemed a little soft to me, perhaps because I'm a sport climber used to longer climbs on good holds.
Location
Underneath the Y2K roof, this climbs the leftmost of a line of jugs at the lip of the lower, ground-level roof.
Protection
1 crashpad, or more if you don't have someone to move it for you as you move right.
