Description

"After all this kind of fanfare, and even more, I came to a point where I needed solitude and just stop the machine of "thinking" and "enjoying" what they call "living", I just wanted to lie in the grass and look at the clouds"  -- Jack Kerouac

A gorgeous climb in a very special locale.  The plumb line right up the middle of Tsunami Wall, offering classic movement on amazing stone.  Navigate the subtle crack system over the crest of the wave, and bullet-hard incuts up and across the steep face to a two-bolt anchor.  Passive pro works well, maybe a couple of cams.  A few bolts help you along the way, but really it's just you and your thoughts up there.  Find your silence!

Location

Start at the bottom anchor near your packs.  Pass the single bolt on the first face, and take on the roof straight ahead over a weakness.  Head straight up, trending a little right.  Find the anchor nestled on a cozy ledge beneath the firs.

Protection

Single rack, bring your passives.
