Today, Tim, Noah, and I went to a roof that has been dubbed the Ninja Training Center. It is a long and steep roof on with a crack out the center on fairly good rock. Matt Segal recently did the second ascent after Dean Potter. I found the crux difficult and was not able to unlock the moves but I am very psyched on the place and will return.

I heard that the whole roof is sandy and the climbs are jug hauls. Is this true?
the boulder problems to the left i found sandy and less pure (with lines crisscrossing) but except for a few non-crucial jugs I found the holds on zen garden to be of a good quality. up to the crux is not hard at all maybe pumpy v4, i campused most of it but i found the crux moves difficult and was not able to pull them. overall zen garden is a three boulder problem route, starting with a very cool jug haul, to a harder three move crux that is maybe v8 that i did not do, to an easier topout. with good endurance, it is very flashable. the upper band of rock that is grey is similar to joes valley, with good incut slots and crimps.
