The routes are technically tall boulders. Follow the description for each route to climb the difficulty as rated.

The Infinity Tidepool Wall area is right behind the left side of the Corridor towards the ocean. The wall has surprisingly good quality granite which feels more solid and polished than surrounding rock. The wall is slightly taller than The Corridor. I like the feel of the stone here the best because it is not as weathered and flaky. The wall is smooth at the bottom, the routes are tricky to start, and they are the most difficult at the lower part. The second half gets easy. It would be a great bouldering wall if the landing area was more friendly. I have no idea if this wall was climbed before. I found no record or signs of previous climbing. The wall is very close to the ocean. Go during low tide and small waves conditions. There are two new bolts at the top but do use extra protection as there are plenty of cracks to place your Cams as well.

Getting There

Climb to the top of the Corridor climbs and downclimb on the other side to the left towards the Ocean. There is a small tidepool at the foot of the wall. The top has two bolts and plenty of cracks for adding cams if necessary.
