Description

Begin on gear with a strenuous layback on the 'ear lobe' to a bolt. Continue above with mixed gear and bolts. Look for finger-sized gear in small, vertical seams. Finish up and right to a shared anchor with Surfing in a Snowstorm.

Location

Begin left of Surfing in a Snowstorm and just left of the large, standing, dead tree. Both routes are on the looker's right side of the Wave formation.
