Holy Roller, 5.11

Holy Roller, 5.11

2nd Pitch- 90’- 5.10+/ I made the mistake of seeing all the bolts and left the gear at the belay. In actuality you do want to take several .75”-1” pieces with you otherwise you will have to follow my lead and run it out a bit on 5.10 terrain. Follow the face bolts up as they trend right at first, then back left. Eventually you turn a small roof like feature to the right. The crux move of the pitch is getting your left fingers, versus your right ones, in a small finger slot above on the narrow ramp. Your natural instinct is to grab this finger jam with your right hand, but I could not make the mantle that way. Instead, look for a small finger hold out right for your right hand and jam your left fingers in that slot hole. Pull up and on to the small ramp and jam your way to the fixed semi hanging belay above placing a piece or two on the way there.
