Description Suggest change

This is a link up starting on "Riviera" and finishing into the top of "Charlie Don't Surf"

Start as for Riviera and do the classic jump start. Work your way through the crux of that climb until you gain the good edge at the 4th clip (As of now it has an extended quick draw on it) A left heel hook here provides the best rest on the entire route. From the good edge traverse right 6 feet via small crimps or an iron cross to the good sidepull on "Charlie Don't Surf" Clip that draw and finish up the sustained finish on that route.

In my opinion it takes the best parts of both routes and combines them. Worth doing if Riviera went quickly for you. No one wants to give it the 5.14a grade but its certainly a good bit harder than the normal Riviera finish. I thought it was worth posting as it's not in the guidebook.

Mike Foley did this back in 2010 but I'm not sure of any earlier ascents.

The first climb you see walking up the hill from Vader.

Stick clip the first bolt. 6 fixed draws to the anchors.
