Fun sport route on the left of the wave wall. Not really an obvious crux, pretty consistent slab climbing.

Hopefully I’m not stepping on anyone’s toes by adding this but I’ve climbed it a few times and it’s one of my favorites so I figured I’d put it up. If anyone has more info please let me know.

Fun right trending mostly finger crack on the left of the wave wall.

Hopefully I’m not stepping on toes adding this, climbed the sport route next to it and top roped it since the anchors are so close and I didn’t have my trad rack with me.

The Wave Wall has a very wet area that soaks the cliff.  This area is west of the many traverses.  West of this, and just before a little gully, there will be an offwidth that faces west.  This offwidth gives you ample opportunity to practice technique in a nice location.  Choose your poison:  armbar or chickenwing, and move it on up the crack.

Interesting dihedral with some crimp and smear fun.

This is the bolt line furthest to the left on Wave Wall -- which I consider to be the entire stretch of rock across the road from Beachball Crag; not just that part that overhangs the roads and was chopped by UDOT.  Tony Calderone in his 2017 guide to BCC refers to this area as "Water Crest."  In any event, the route posted here is the bolted line mentioned in the post for

Climb What?

Surprisingly good for such a short line in a somewhat nasty place, this makes for a convenient and quick route to add to the tally for the early morning or late evening crew.

BTW, the 2017 Calderone BCC guide shows two bolted 5.9+ sport routes called "Water Crest" and "Water Fest" in what appears to be the same location as the route we climbed and posted here (but with no FA info).  What we did is certainly not 9+, at least the line we climbed, but maybe we did something different or took too direct of a line.

obvious arete on the left side of the wave wall

At The Wave Wall's pullout, just left of the gully, is a bolted line that faces south-east.  This climbs the crack just right of this line.  It works through a weird sequence to get past an overhanging section, then eases up.

The leftward traverse of the main Wave Wall.  Fun, pumpy and awkward!

left start in a crack that peters out, right starts on a jug and goes to a sweet pinch.  from pinch, move right hand to right side of the arete to a triangular hold. Go as high as you feel comfortable.

Sit down start on the left, go up and right to jugs and finish on the uber jug. Fun.

At the parking area, you will notice an obvious gully splitting the cliff.  This is just across from Beachball.  Just right of this gully is an arete with bolts on the right side.  They are painted.  This is just Left of Offwidth Workout.  This climb is steep and thin, with footwork and sidepulls being key.  Bolt 1 is an easy clip, bolt 2 seems to clip easier from the arete or even a little left of it. Bolt 3 on the other hand is a tough clip.  Very consistent climbing and enjoyable all the way up.
