Description The beginning of this one is a bit squeezed in but contains a few fun moves that are not used otherwise. After the crux its just a walk up the super moderate slab to the chains.
Start as for Bullwinkle Craters (5.11b) for a few steep jug moves with one really cool hold. Pull the tricky move on to the slab then 5.3ish climbing brings you to the left end of the upper deck of New Wave Wall. As Mark commented, you can run this route in to Air and Pleasant Danger (5.8) for a longer climb. Use a 70m rope if you do this and plan to come all the way back to the ground.
Location Starting on the same holds as Bullwinkle Craters head up and left out the roof.
Protection 4 bolts to anchor. If you run it in to Air and Pleasant Danger, you will have to run out some easy vegetated slab to get to the goods on that route.
nicole, so hot right now

| Either I did this route completely wrong the other day, or the grade is off, but it felt a number grade harder than the description implies. Nevertheless, a fun route with great slab climbing above. |

| Wish I read the description first... now I want to run this out to Air and Pleasant Danger. :) Think I could lower to the (ledge) anchors of Bullwinkle Goes Ballistic to re-tie with a 60m rope? |

| The linkup with Air and Present Danger makes for a nice long moderate route. We confirmed today that a 60m rope will get you down safely to the ground from the anchors of Air and Present if you were to do the link up.
But as always, no matter what anyone says, watch the end of your rope very closely on lower. |

| The start to this climb is a ton of fun... very steep climbing on better holds than you can ask for. |
