Roughage
Description
Effective December 2014 this climb is closed
This stellar problem doesn't have any super difficult moves, but every move is solid with a consistent difficulty until the top. Begin on a good left facing sidepull and climb left through a decent pinch to a small undercling. From here make a big move to a good crimp, match and make a committing move to a jug. This gives a chance for a shake as while from here things ease up, it will keep you on your toes until the top.
Probably on the easier side of V7, but the excitement of a possible fall makes up for it.
Location
Located in the Lunch Rocks area, with careful spotting, Roughage should be visible from the trail. It is located on the level above The Wonder Dyno and Chong Li.
Protection
The more pads and spotters the better. The landing area is pretty uneven at the start and the finish is pretty high above an annoyingly placed boulder and tree.
As Sherman eloquently writes "Tempting bad landings below the first moves and a melon-splitting block behind the lip. Terrifying, technical."
