Description 

This is a long and fun route up the right side of the Ripple Wall. The crux may be getting off the ground. Although mostly easy climbing, it is a bit runout by Red Rock standards, but not bad at all. I recommend belaying your partner up to the anchor to avoid rope drag and to enjoy the view. Rappel with two ropes.

Location 

This is the third route from the right on the Ripple Wall. Start just left of Jumping the Gun, angling up and left past two drilled angle pitons. Continue traversing straight left to a third piton, then climb straight up to the very top of the wall. The last piton currently has a screw link on it, but this is not the anchor, continue another 25 feet or so to reach the obvious anchor. Rappel with TWO ropes.

Protection 

5 drilled pitons, 2 huge eyebolts, and 1 railroad spike! Make sure you have 3 long runners to girth-hitch the eyebolts and spike. Anchor consists of 3 drilled angle pitons and two modern bolts.
