These
new routes are to the right of Bolt From the Blue, in the alcove
on the Shipwreck Wall. Tsunami is just right of Rising
Tides, and Riptide is just right of Tsunami.
Tsunami
- 5.12c ****
Protection
- 15 bolts to the anchor
This steep
traversing route ascends solid stone through a total of three roofs.
Both bouldery and technical the entire length, the crux is pulling
the second roof, but the pump continues to build while you negotiate
the third. Fun jugs and pockets lead you to the anchors.

Riptide
- 5.11b ***
Protection
- 6 bolts to the anchor
Surprisingly
pumpy and steep, this route ascends a series of seams, pockets,
and crimps to the crux throw at the finish, which can be done statically
or avoided by choosing the more difficult right arete. Start this
route from the ledge just right of Tsunami, where a belay bolt keeps
the belayer secure.

Undertow
- 5.12b ***
Protection - 7 bolts to the anchor
This route
is a combines the lower part of Riptide with the finish of
Tsunami. Start up Riptide, and at the third bolt trend up
and left to the big roof and the bolt at the lip on Tsunami.
A short boulder problem on small crimps leads you to the roof
jug and the entertaining finish of Tsunami.
