Better Red than Dead

Description

The kind of route which elicits the response, "What is THAT thing?" as most 20+ foot offwidth roofs do. A must do for those interested in hard wide climbing. Considering how little traffic this route gets, it's a wonder it isn't totally overgrown (unlike the 5.8 approach pitch).

Climb either Not Ice or a dirty/loose 5.8 crack to the left of it and belay right below the roof. Proceed through handstacks and kickthroughs, finishing with a strenuous pivot into the chimney.

Location

50 yards right of Slimy Creatures is an enormous roof with a big crack in it. You can't miss it!

Protection

Two bolt belay, could be backed up with .75 and 1 camalots. The crack itself takes a 2 camalot, with doubles of 4, 5, and 6.
