Start up two thin cracks with some face climbing, pass the first small roof on its left side and step right into the obvious long finger crack. Continue up the crack through a second roof. The crack changes to tight hands above the roof.

Riptide is the first crack to the climbers right (west) of Blue Wind. Begin from the ground below Ed's Jam, or approach from the ramp to the west (class 3) and build a belay on the ledge. There is an anchor at the top, second rap anchor is about 90 ft down (same as used to rappel Blue Wind). Two rappels with a 60m rope will get you to the ground.

One set of nuts. Two sets of cams up to .75 Camalot, one #1 Camalot. Alien Hybrids or the like usefull also.
