Description 

Start at the lefthand edge of the Perfect Wave, 40 feet below a small overlap.

P1: Paddle up the easy 5.4 slab, past the overlap to a belay ledge above, 70 feet.

P2: Climb up and left from the belay ledge to a bolt at the base of a bulging, blank slab. Pull past this to the next bolt, and then and angle even more left to a horizontal crack, 90 feet.

P3: From here, climb unprotected to the trees.


Location 

Bring two ropes to rap to the sling anchor on the Perfect Wave route.


Protection 

2 bolts on pitch two, small to medium gear (pretty much only for the belay anchors)
