Was bored so climbed the right side of the Wave Rider Boulder. Sit start on right aerate and climb left into the overhang and then top out on a slopey crimp. Another climber tried this and unfortunately butt rocketed onto the boulder beneath Wave Rider (yes there were pads but apparently was still very painful).

Start as for Wave Rider, but instead of veering left to finish, stay true to the arete and face.  This is a great problem and it deserves some action.  It has an airy feeling but is safe if padded.  One of the best of the grade in the park?  Quite possibly.

To get started grab large block in middle of boulder, get a good left heel-toe cam, left hand pinch, and right hand on good rail.  Bump out left to good crimp and fight your way up using smart footwork to gain high side-pull.  Committing throw to the finish.  So rad!!
