Maybe I'm getting old and feeble...one of the pictures for Black Orpheus says "looking up at the crux 5.10 roof".
As I recall, up high after a section of fourth class pitches, the route traversed left to a really nice 5.9 dihedral. That pitch was followed by the crux up a corner to the very short (and well bolted) 5.10a section on the next pitch. It has been a bunch of years, but I don't recall having to climb a roof as the crux...

Good point, Greg! Indeed, isn't the 5.9 dihedral the one left of that roof in the photo?

Yep, that's fine - but the other photo should say "Looking up at the route from the top of pitch 3."
Also, the route line on the Solar Slab picture is pretty far off on the upper part of the route.

true- that is pretty far off.
it goes most of the way up that low angle dihedral feature and then it traverses across to the right a tad (somewhere w/in that projecting shadow just below the dark patina to the right of where your line is now) and then heads straight up the main weakness in that part of the wall, on the left side of that big flake-like thing (that's a technical term, btw...)
