Description 1.3 miles from 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 the the base of the west-facing rock. This is the Shark's Fin Wall. The crack up the center is Shark Bait. Start under the small roof and climb through the upside down "V". Near the top, undercling out right or go up the overhanging crack (5.7) to a two bolt anchor.
Protection Gear to 3 inches. You can clip the first bolt of Stupid Igits to the right.

| Don't clip the bolt, a small cam with a little runner works fine for the first placement. As the anchors are to the right, follow the crack up and over the roof 5.8+ the anchors above, that's way funner. |

| Pulling through the roof at the top is definitely the way to go. |
