Edge of the Sea
Add Photo  Printer View
Description Edge of the Sea is an excellent climb on the Riptide Wall. It climbs up various cracks just right of an arete. Scramble up easy rock to a hand crack. Cruise up the crack (5.6ish) until it narrows to a thin finger crack. Climb through this (crux) and link it with many other small cracks more or less straight up to a ledge. Then use the anchors for Astroprojection.
Protection Standard Rack. Small to medium gear.

| Edge of the Sea is different than all the other routes on this wall as it has much better hands. A nice change of pace. |

| a few fun moves, and as Nathan stated...a different flavor than most all of the other Parley's routes. |

| Its worth bringing the rack down for this one. Its my personal favorite climb on the side of I80. |

| I agree with Mobley.. Also not a bad lead a couple climbs to the right of this one (Riptide). Might as well since you've got your rack! |

| Traversing from one crack system to another (and figuring out where to) is a bit tricky but other than that its pretty straighforward. |

| Graded this as I usually do, that is for the area, at 4 stars. Although it requires you to slog the rack down, it's well worth it. Climbs a cool linking crack system, takes nuts very well, and is great lead. My favorite for Parleys, hence the stars. |
