Climb up various sized pockets to a nice juggy flake out right.

Doubletree

Problem A

Goldenrod

The Wave of Hope

Golden Wave

The perfect line.  Start on pockets and follow the golden streak through a small square inclusion, and some smaller pockets up high.  Go direct to finish and not toward the flake to the right.

This is my vote for the best of its grade on Bishop Tuff, and possibly the best line on tuff on the Plateau.

Start sitting to the left of the arete

The Wave of Hope

.   Move up leftwards to gain a good pocket at the base of the scoop.   Lunch up the groove to finish.

Sit start on the left side of the rounded arete.

Climb up via good but awkward to use pockets to a hard move up and right to a large pocket, which is not as good as you would like.

From the large pocket continue up to the rounded top of the boulder, which some exposed moves will get you on top.

Sit start as for

The Wave of Hope

, but instead of climbing up the arete, make a long move to reach the lower holds on

Goldenrod

, continue with difficulty to the good pocket on

Doubletree

, and finish up that problem.
