Description
Left of Glass Ocean is a gully with a wide crack at it's terminus. Tsunami climbs this, angling right to the bolts that are left of Glass Ocean. It then surmounts a series of roofs. Footwork is, as always, integral. This climb utilizes thin edges all the way up through all the roofs. This is probably the best way to start High Dive. There is one additional bolt than what the Ruckman guide shows.
Protection
6 bolts, 2 pitons and a 3 bolt anchor, if you aim for the top of Northwest Passage's 1st pitch. A 1" cam at the initial overlap wouldn't hurt.
[Hide Photo] But once into them, they are very enjoyable.
[Hide Photo] Tsunami's tiered roofs look initially intimidating.
