The Wave

V5, Boulder, 15 ft (5 m),  Avg: 3 from 1 vote
FA: Mathew Abercrombie/John Bowling
Colorado > Grand Junction… > Unaweep Canyon > Nine Mile Hill > Nine Mile Bould… > Mecca Boulder Area > Pink Floyd Area > Kraken Block

Description

The route starts off with good foot ledge and a good right hand hold. Once there, make an easy move to a sharp crimp set your feet, and throw to a crimpy knob on the left outside bulge. Your feet will most likely cut, but keep the two holds, and throw a heel to a sharp edge just right and a little up from the right hand crimp. Move right hand to a good pocket, and top it out. The crux for me was the jump!

Location

Look for the wave feature. The start will be just to the right.

Protection

2 pads and a good spot.
