New Wave- 245’-510a***A varied climb, not as good as Broken Tree, but more popular. The first pitch is 5.7 up a left leaning crack to a fixed rap. Start up the steep crack above. The crux is at a bolt between cracks. Make a precarious stem right groping the right arete. Then up great fingers to easy hands to the shared rap ledge. Double to #2. Dow
