Austin Proctor near the crux of Harpoon, his first...


Description 

At the very top of the main tier you can find this obvious left-leaning crack that climbs into an alcove. Climb the cracks, through the thin crux up to a nice horizontal and then stand up into an alcove. Exiting the alcove you will find coldshut anchors. Easily top-roped by walking around to the left and then across a ledge to the shuts.


Protection 

A couple small cams for the bottom and then a few hand-sized pieces for the top.

DO NOT walk to the top of Harpoon/Anguish. As of 3/7/07, the NPS is cracking down on the closure of the clifftop of Shiprock. Everything above Anguish/Harpoon is off-limits, and all descents of the main tier must utilize the Boardwalk rappel. Go to http://carolinaclimbers.org for more info.
