Description
Here's a way to hog both warm-ups at once. Starts to the left of Total Wayist. Climb a finger crack in a stem-box past some chockstones (5.10) to a shelf. Then climb some easy terrain up and right to cross through Total Wayist. Skip the bolt (good pro next to it), and traverse right on a big juggy flake. The flake is a little hollow, but you can get a bomber thin cam in the crack just above the top of the flake. Make a cruxy traverse (10d) to the right and then scramble up the last bit of Waste Not, Whip Not to finish at the same anchor.
The start of this climb is unpleasant, but the crux at the top is sort of cool. A better variation would be to climb the first half of Total Wayist and then finish on Solid Waste.
