1.3 miles west of the beige siphon tube is a dirt pullout on the north side of the road. Walk back east 50 feet to the gully and hike up and north 150 feet to the base of a west facing wall. This is the Sharks Fin Wall. Stupid Igits is the bolted climb just [right] of the center crack (Shark Bait). Up past two bolts, cling and reach for the slanting crack to the right (stopper placement), smear up past one more bolt to the two [bolt] anchor.

3 bolts and a small to medium size stopper to a two [bolt] anchor.
Hey, Allen, this is a pretty sweet climb. I like how you didn't put a bolt at that crack and left it for a stopper even though it's a small one. Sweet little climb, man!
....Travis, thanks for the comment on the Shark's Fin Wall. I thought about fixing a piton in that crack but decided a small nut would easily slot. Having climbed it many times now, I usually just climb up to the next bolt, clip and go. At any rate, a bolt would have been way out of place there. Glad you enjoyed the climb, it's one of my fave's in the canyon. Allen
When you talk about accessing this climb and some others at Shark Fin Wall you say "1.3 miles west of the beige siphon tube is a dirt pullout on the north side of the road. Walk back east 50 feet to the gully and hike up and north...."
Is this the dirt pulloff in front of Friendship Seven?
