Shanghaied in Chinatown

A steep, thin and stemmy start with scanty thin pro leads to decent hands and fingers to the obvious roof above. Go clear to the roof, and you may get Shanghaied. Set a long sling for rope engineering about 5' below the roof, and traverse out left on thin edges and fingers. Slip a cam into the roof edge with a long sling. Turn the roof, and either lieback or grovel to the rap rings above. Tie in at the rings or continue about 10' up and left to a shelf, and belay on gear.

This is route #7 on the

area topo

Route #6

.

Rack up a full set of cams and wires (make sure to have some very small wires/nuts to RP size).
