Description 

Listed as route #3 (5.11b?) on the topo photo for the Tsunami Wall, this route's crux felt a good bit more difficult than that.

The route starts up the obvious black streak leading to a cactus about 25 feet up. The low first bolt doesn't appear as though it would be of much help so consider stick-clipping the second bolt. Make bouldery moves on pockets to a horizontal break in the rock. Crank the moves through a short crack section to fun, featured climbing in a shallow dihedral/corner. Finish by climbing through an airy, fun roof to the anchors.

Location 

This route climbs the right-most black streak on the wall, starting behind a large, healthy tree. A crack feature between the second and third bolts and a cactus ~25' up help identify the line.

Protection 

8 bolts to a bolted anchor with biners.
