Description

Tons of fun!  An unusual route for Big Rock, and maybe the only lie-back water groove you'll ever do.  Start left or just below the groove, either way on interesting holds and underclings to a possible low knee bar.  Establish yourself in the groove.  This might be the crux.  Use the excellent arete and devise a way upwards, clipping bolts along the way until you reach a phenomenal basin feature that feels like an oasis.  Cross the pine tree ledge, take a breath, and finish on what might be the best 10 feet of sport climbing at Big Rock.

Note: a single hand-sized cam or hex might be useful to protect a big fall from the ledge if the headwall bolt seems too far away.

Location

Middle of the wall; follows the obvious water groove feature and bolts.

Protection

4 bolts, anchor chains.
