Climb onto the roof covering the NW entrance where a ladder leads to a short stemming corner.  Once atop the third tier, step onto an electrical box to the left and reach for the coping. Pull onto the main rooftop (exposed).  Walk to the top.  Alternately, once you have mantled onto the third roof tier, it is possible to scale the south side of the building by using any of the four rectangular gutters to access the main roof.

Descend by down climbing one of the gutters along the south face, then reverse the climbing route.

Boving Route

One the east face of the building, just above the north entrance to the pool looms a 45’ fist-sized crack, 3” wide, that leads to the rooftop.  More of a layback than a hands in climb, the route can be topped using a vent duct on the roof as an anchor.  Soloists take note: the first 30’ are fairly straightforward, but the last 15’ contain harder climbing due to the the higher concentration of concrete chose along the lieback edge.
