This obscure route doesn't get a lot of attention but is well worth seeking out. See if you think the namesake feature really looks like a dolphin's head.
Climb the face following crack systems and easy jugs, then angle up and left to the "head." Pull this roof move and finish at a ledge.
The old Kelly guide lists this route at 5.6, a bit of a sandbag.
Location
Starts about 100' left of Welcome to Moore's on a clearing above the cliff trail. Scramble climber's left to a rap station (webbing and rap rings slung on a big chockstone).
Protection
Small to medium cams and passive gear; build a gear anchor at the top.
Excellent route. The start and the finish are fantastic and well worth it. The middle section is lackluster 4th class/easy 5th and covered in lichen, but the beginning and end of the climb make up for it.
