Maybe bring a bottle of water and do all three. The belay station for the second pitches is comfortable. All three routes, this one and the two vertically above it, are always in the shade and almost immune to rainfall.

2. Go up and sightly right - don't be lured by other bolts going further right. 9 titanium bolt.

3. This pitch is fun and follows bolts up into a small ledge at a small cave. 12 titanium bolts.

4. In 2006, Drew Spaulding and Adam Weiner established a 4th pitch, but it is not well equipped without trad gear. Climb up into the corner on gear, threads and a few bolts. Then tunnel up right and under the stalactite umbrella up to the bolted anchor (this pitch needs re-bolting). A wild ride!

From the top of P3, it is also possible to traverse out left, wiggle through a hole in the cave, and finish up on the last pitch of 'Big Wave'. This finish slightly raises the grade, but dramatically increases the fun.
