Description Suggest change

Both Steiger's & EFR's guide recommend this as it's own one pitch route. It's quite unique, & will have you remembering the route's name every 5 feet or so.

Listed as a variation start to "Something Unsaid," this interesting pitch is worth doing once if you're into long approaches & offers an alternative to regaining the ledge system that bisects the Sea Gods if you'd rather not solo the unprotectable 5.8 to get up to the ledge where Heat Wave, Something Unsaid, or Om start. Continuous & well-protected for the most part, smooth laybacks and delicate footwork take quite a tilted path. You traverse more than you gain height above the gully. Pulling over the lip is a fun, committing & different finish to an otherwise continuous route. You'll want to be followed to clean. 

(edit: I belayed from the tree but looking at that thing post-fire... plan to build an anchor elsewhere)

Location Suggest change

Poseidon's Lower NW face. Just below the main ledge system. The line is obvious as you drop further down the gully if coming from around the Aegir.

Protection Suggest change

Gear to #3 Camalot, doubles of fingers, nuts. Belay from tree on ledge.
