Description 

Located on the west face of the Whale's Tail, this climb starts as for Clementine, but after 20ft., before getting into the easy dihedral, traverse right on some poor rock. Climb up into a capped dihedral and escape out right onto the arete and enjoy the romp to the false summit. You can belay from the anchor for West Dihedral.


Protection 

Standard rack plus a few long slings for the initial traverse.
