Named for the wave like rock feature about 30 feet up.  This route is alot of fun.  It just keeps on coming at you.  Begin by climbing up a vertical face, shopping around the many holds to a decent stance beneath the wave (an overhanging blank face with a bolt).  Find a way to reach up and grab a jug and crank through the overhang on more jugs.  Pull into a left facing corner with slabby feet.  Another puzzle of small holds (crux, in my opinion) gains more jugs beneath another set of overhangs.  Step right slightly and make a tough move through the overhangs into a left facing corner then up to a ledge.  Continue up the black face about which probably goes at 5.8 but felt alot harder after 75' of climbing.  Bolt anchors.

Inspirational route name.  Another route with many potential holds to sort through.  Tricky on the lower half and physical higher up.  Up the steep face with the crux section around the fourth bolt.  The face leads to powerful underclings and another tough move up and right into a steep right facing corner.  Up the corner and through another overhang onto the upper face with a hard intial move, then to the anchors.

This wall is big, look up and say wow.  The tallest section of cliff at Shelving Rock.  The base of the wall is totally wide open with nice views of the lake.  I have lived in apartments smaller than some of the boulders at the base of this wall.
