Description
This is a great variation finish to the first pitch of Punk Wave. After the short section of slab, about 15' below the anchor to P1 of Punk Wave, traverse right passing a key piece to get to an open corner system. (It's a good idea to sling the pieces on the slab section below this long to reduce drag.) Climb up this corner passing another piece and a bolt protected crux to get you to the anchor above.
