The root is really well protected. There are three ledges that you can rest on. Some of the clips are reachy but this stops you from hitting the ledges.

SA 24. Took me a couple of goes figuring out the sequence, 'cause I was doing the crux like a V3! Figured it out and felt easy. Good steepish climbing on round holds, great stuff!
	19	★★ Jamani - with Maria and Jahne	Sport 6	★★★ Mega Classic	Justin Case
SA 19. Bit hard for the grade if you layback, I guess this could be a Frog Buttress 19, as I think knowing how to jam makes it easier. BOLTS ON A CRAAAACK!!! XD
