Description

This is AKA The Grey Ghost (for the 000 c3 you blindly place after the crux...).

Begin at the same start as

The Wave

, but instead of moving left into that feature, go straight up into the wide pod that becomes a fingers lieback to a small ledge. Steel your nerves, and launch into the beautiful splitter, making sure to place good gear high to protect a potential ledge fall from the cruxy exit (maybe 11a PG-13, but not too bad).

Catch a rest on the next ledge, and clip the bolt up and right (stiff draw for shorter climbers). Make powerful moves (

Front Range 12a

;) up a steep slab with your right hand in a tips seam. The grey c3 is difficult to place, so it's probably better to run it out a little higher to a solid finger-size piece.

Follow the winding splitter to

The Wave

anchor. This is easily TR-able after leading that route.

Location

Climb the same start as

The Wave

on the right side of Sunday Wall, in the same alcove as

Sweet Sunday Serenade

and

SIngle Bolt Seam

.

It faces east and is one of the first routes on Sunday Wall to go into the shade.

Protection

Doubles from tips to big fingers, one (maybe two) 0.75 BD, one quickdraw, and a nice

Indica

perhaps.

You can bring an optional #3 BD or #4 to protect wide pod at the start.
