Description Suggest change

Another Tim Hudgel slab classic, this is a great slab route. This is the 4th route from the right on the north-facing Grey Wave Wall.

Start up on easy climbing with good edges and ledges to clip the first bolt. Head upwards past another 7 bolts with terrific climbing and numerous cruxy spots. I thought this route was a fair bit easier than Hammerhead but no less classic. There seemed to be more stances to re-group and recover. It is definitely better protected, but the average climber will still probably be uncomfortable at times.

Location Suggest change

This is the [4th] route from the left on the north-facing Grey Wave Wall. Approach up the rock gully.

Protection Suggest change

8 good bolts. Hubbel's book shows bolted anchors up to the left (not there). There is a sturdy juniper (needs webbing and rings) or old buttonhead/Stardryve bolted anchor to the right 30 feet (needs new webbing). Also, you can hike off along the ledge system to the right.
