Same sit-down start as for the Wave, but cut left out to the arete on obvious crimps to big sidepulls around the corner. Crux is getting feet set up high for the long reach to the top.

 Variations include starting further out to the right and traversing below the Wave and up into Frogger.

Obvious lieback problem next to Classic Crack

Weapons Grade is a small obvious overhanging cave that is just right of the Campus Problem (V2). Sit start on two very tiny left facing side pull crimps, situate feet and power up to the right hand gaston. Cross into a seemly in-obvious hold placement with the left and power into slopers and move left to a jug top out. 

  One of the hardest problems in Groom Creek, reported to be between V11-V12 and has only seen a handful of ascents (4-5). ***Recent new beta was found on the problem, dropping it down to more around v10/11 and slghtly more doable finishing moves than the original beta.

Crack problem just south of Wave/Campus boulders (closer to the parking area) near power lines.

Tiny edges and smears lead to a sloping top-out. Excellent training for slab technique!

Start at Classic Crack. Traverse foot ledge left following a faint seam with meager holds ending at a large side pull near a tree. Top out featureless friction slab, just right of tree. Likely harder these days, seems a large portion of the foot ledge has broke. Prove your GC rock mastery on this over-looked classic.

Begin SDS at the beginning to the Wave and instead of heading over the lip, continue right along the obvious hand rail, around a flake and then up to a big juggy finish.  Positive holds the whole way keep you safely off the scary looking boulder. 

Pull up over the left-leaning crack on small edges and smears. Mantle top-out with good hands.

Sit-down start at obvious, heavily chalked incuts and climb the flake up and right to apex.  Long dynamic move around the lip and then you're up!

Smears and a couple of good handholds to a mantle top-out. Great for footwork improvement.

Traverse left to thin face with small pocket. #27 on the Marty Map.

The Wave Area includes The Wave Boulder, The Campus Boulder, split Rock.
