Tom Woods:
Overdrive!
Most people rappel into it; although it has a first pitch.
The descent is from the vicinity of the big tunnel, that’s all I remember.
Somehow I thought that first pitch was done by Yabo, it looked sort of sketchy from above, but I might be thinking of one of those things you get into from the top of Elephant Rock.
I climbed Overdrive with Bobbi Bensman and Tony Popo, plus one or two other people.
The roof is good hands and straightforward; it’s the section getting established above the lip where you could wobble out of there…
Big Bob’s Big Wedge!
Really popular amongst the Josh stacking cognoscenti. Never did it.
I have long forgotten the name of a particular low-to-the-ground roof problem requiring stacks, but it’s a pretty good one. It is found along the north side of the dirt road that leads out to the area of the Wonderland with Hyperion Arch. It actually had a fairly characteristic name too. My memory instructs me that I did this with Dick Cilley? Maybe Bill Russell.
Chime in Dick.
What I remember about it was that we would spot each other for the roof section, then clip our swami’s to a top rope once we pulled the lip…

“It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing”
Finger crack through a roof, 2 or so body lengths, Bachar rated it 11C.
Out by Uncle Willy's in JT.
Pretty sweet...
Lechlinski and I TR'd it one day way back, I'm thinking Yaniro was there too.
I gassed out on the final moves above the roof.

Max on Separate Reality. I believe this was the 5th ascent. He's clipped the same gear as Double D in the photo above. Those nuts were fixed for a long, long time.

Thank you to Brian Boyd for the picture of The Monument.
Since Mr. Cilley has been invoked, he can illustrate the Western bookend of Croft's Canadian roof crack pair, Zombie Roof:
(I'm not sure if the crack running parallel to the roof has been done.)

Roofs can be challenging for the amateur to photograph.
Anyone have a picture of Mastodon Roof (Leavenworth)?
A sentimental favorite.
