Description

This is what I have found to be the original route through the grey band called The Wave. Begin with runout climbing up to a slot with a #1 cam. A fixed pin has been added by Britt Ruegger to supplement the pro. Continue up and slightly right on fun face through a bush. Continue up, and angle for the left-leaning dihedral above you. Before this position, cross over the slab, and join some cracks and climbing up to an angling ramp. Continue out right through a vegetated crack, or tackle the lieback ear (5.9) for the best climbing, and move up to a gear anchor. Continue to the top through the Rip Rap above. Numerous options exist. Directly above you, locate two fixed pins placed by Britt Ruegger on an early ascent with 5.8 climbing.

Note: within the first half of this pitch, notice a right-trending, grassy ramp. This leads to an unknown crack with 3 older fixed pins and most likely 5.10 climbing (see the beta photo).

Location

This route begins to the right of a large tree against the wall. Locate the slot and fixed pin above you, and decide on the path of least resistance to gain the route.

Protection

Traditional gear and a fixed pin.
