Description 

Remember your feet on this one. A couple moves where the hands kinda disappear... but the friction will keep you in the game.

The center of the big face just right of Wave Goodbye.


Protection 

7 bolts.

One of the most amazing 5.8 climbs I have ever done. Moon light ridge is a great and safe sport crag and if you get here climb this route.

This did not seem like a 5.8 to me... Thin hands and thin feet, if you slip clipping the 3rd bolt you are going to deck on a small ledge... Fly Me to the Moon is a 5.8, Wave Rider is not, even Counter Point is a 5.8 but the style of climbing (face and slab) on Fly me to the Moon is similar to Wave Runner except on FMTTM you can see your feet... Just my $0.02...

Most fun I've had on a 5.8 in awhile. Mike came walking down the trail and was excited to see us there, stopped to chat awhile before he introduced himself. Great day up there!

one of the best routes McQuarrie ever put up. I've climbed it several times and it's always challenging. Very well bolted/very well planned.
