Description

This is the third and 'shorter' tier that sits above The Wave (see the beta photo) and climbs top out near 11,000 feet on this formation. The views and exposure are outstanding! Multiple options exist to finish through this band of rock depending upon the approach pitch, etc. Option 1, on the left side, find the third pitch to Gettin' Barreled, and climb the steeper, left-leaning crack, 5.8 to the top and a fixed anchor. Opton 2, Continue with the second pitch of Inside Job to the top and a bolted anchor. Option 3, in the middle of the Rip Rap and above the Original Route, locate fixed pins (Britt Ruegger) and 5.8 climbing (see the beta photo). Option 3, on the far right side above Surfing in a Snowstorm, locate one bolt and 5.6 run-out climbing to the top (the easiest finishes are on this side).
