Description Riviera is a line of strength up the steep bulging right sector of Waimea. Wild, technical, and bouldery, a send of Riviera is certainly a proud one. A must climb for the V9 boulderer.
Start by making a huge leap to the first hold of the route- a jug that needs to pinched quite hard to control the swing. From here, heel hooks and a big lockoff allows access to a big jug and a stance to clip the second draw. Here's where the business begins: Launch out right into the corner, using heel hooks and unimaginably poor (and sharp) crimps, finally gaining access to an awful sloping fin. Make a couple more moves out right, gaining some better holds, and finish up the 5.11ish romp to the chains.
Location The first bolted line encountered upon arriving to Waimea.

| I remember trying this when I was a V9 boulderer... it felt impossibly hard. |

| You have to be good at prying elevator doors open for this one. |

| Does anyone know if a link up has been done starting on Riviera and finishing on Charlie Don't Surf has been done?
I know starting on CDS and finishing on Riviera is 12d but I haven't heard what the other way is.
I noticed that the prehung draws for CDS were taken down except for the last two so it seemed like someone was trying this like up. |
