Description Remember your feet on this one. A couple moves where the hands kinda disappear... but the friction will keep you in the game.
Location The center of the big face just right of Wave Goodbye.
Protection 7 bolts.

| One of the most amazing 5.8 climbs I have ever done. Moon light ridge is a great and safe sport crag and if you get here climb this route. |

| This did not seem like a 5.8 to me... Thin hands and thin feet, if you slip clipping the 3rd bolt you are going to deck on a small ledge... Fly Me to the Moon is a 5.8, Wave Rider is not, even Counter Point is a 5.8 but the style of climbing (face and slab) on Fly me to the Moon is similar to Wave Runner except on FMTTM you can see your feet... Just my $0.02... |

| Most fun I've had on a 5.8 in awhile. Mike came walking down the trail and was excited to see us there, stopped to chat awhile before he introduced himself. Great day up there! |

| one of the best routes McQuarrie ever put up. I've climbed it several times and it's always challenging. Very well bolted/very well planned. |
