Description Also known as La Coalicion. Fun, straightforward climbing until you get to the bottom of the wave. Mantle up into the wave, using huge holds but still a little awkward. Chains right on the lip of the wave. You can make it down with one 60M rope, but be careful.
Location The trail leads right to the base. Start at a small apron on the middle of three routes.
Protection 11 bolts to chains

| If I am not mistaken, this route is actually referred to La Coalicion in Mexico Rock by Jeff Jackson. This route is the main line on this formation and is absolutely beautiful. The route is long (40 m) and the climbing is varied. We used a 70 m to get down. It has been a while, but I don't remember if it was clear how to get down with a single 60. I would recommend hauling another for a double. |

| Magic Ed's ?El Potrero Select? guidebook calls the route "La Ola" aka "La Coalicion". Dane Bass' The Whole Enchilada guidebook calls the route "La Ola" and says it has 12 bolts.
Both guidebooks list the route length as 115' (35m). If this is accurate, a 70m (230') rope should be adequate to get down safely. |

| Pretty Standard climbing till the very top and thats where it gets fun. Holds are unique and rounded at the top due to mineral deposits and there is a funky leg move that is tough to make look cool but needs to be done right below the anchors! A good taste of the style of climbing done at the wave. Long route so make sure to use a 70m!!!! |
