5 out of 5 stars Geat Fun!

Very nice multi-pitch. The "Beast" part is getting so much climbed now that it is now so sharp any more. The 3rd pitch is a lot of fun on big holes.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful!!!

I led all three pitches on-sight, after climbing Humanality in the morning, and before crossing over to the last 2 and a half pitches of The Wave. What a day! This 5 and a half pitch combo was definitely my favorite at Tonsai. Breathtaking! Looking at the wall as a whole from the ground, it strikes me as such an amazing climb - and that it is!
The third pitch has two cruxes - one right at the start and one near the top, breaking out of the groove.
