Description 

3rd pitch is the beauty, 1st pitch is the beast. The second pitch just connects the two.

Firt pitch starts with a couple of fun, overhanging moves out left side of the cave, then easier climbing on sharp rock up the buttress. Second pitch goes up and sightly right- don't be lured by other bolts going further right. The third pitch is fun and follows bolts up into a small ledge at a small cave.

Don't stop there though. From the top, traverse out left, wiggle through a hole in the cave, then finish up on the last 2 pitches of The Wave. This finish slightly raises the grade, but dramatically increases the fun.

Getting off P3 can be a bit of a pain but it was definitely the most fun pitch of the route. P1 isn't that sharp if you are used to the limestone at Shelf Road, CO
