Description
Climb up the slightly-overhanging lower section to the overhang on good holds.
After the second bolt, angle right using a large side pull and throw a big right hand to the large rock protruding just below the overhang. It's easily big enough to hang with two hands (though can be slippery). Pull over the overhang on this, grabbing whatever you can above it until you can mantle over it. Can be mossy/dirty right above the large block hold.
Easy climbing to the top after this spectacular crux.
Location
Shares bolts with Richnak's Revenge and is mostly the same climb, only going right after the second bolt to get over the overhang in a different spot.
Protection
This climb is best top-roped, but can be lead with some risk of a nasty fall at the crux. 4 (or 5) bolts to a shared bolted anchor with Regular Route and Richnak's Revenge.
The crux is poorly protected, the bolts are really meant for Richnak's Revenge to the left and are well below and left of the crux overhang. A fall here (and this is the most difficulty climbing section requiring a dynamic move) would lead to a large whipper, possibly involving the nearby tree branches or even the boulder below the start of Wave Rider.
