Access Issue: Electronic Waver Details

As of January 25, 2015, the Moke has been reopened after a lengthy challenge in obtaining a permit to climb at this area . All climbers are required to sign an electronic waver before climbing at the Moke. You can find the waver here:

hiclimb.org/join.php

Access at this area is fragile. The State requires that climbers exercise good stewardship in order for our access to remain.

Please note the following rules:

- Dogs and alcoholic beverages are prohibited by law at the Moke, on the approach, and in the parking lot.
- No fires
- Do not deface the cliff
- No amplified music

In addition, please show the state we are good stewards of the land by following the following guidelines:

- Treat other users with respect
- Help clean up chalk and tick marks
- Identify and report safety hazards
- Stay on established trails
- Dispose of human waste appropriately and pack out toilet paper
- Keep a low profile by minimizing noise
- Pack out all gear, rubbish, and practice leave no trace ethics

Description

Start by scrambling up the 4th class choss, climb some 5.8ish moves to the first bolt, pull a tricky mini roof at bolt number two, then shake out at bolt three. Fire left onto the face and then work your way to the strenuous layback off the shark fin (the obvious flake). Once you hit the shark fin, the route is sustained to the chains. Aside from the chossy start, this route is actually rather good. If you're looking for a break from the main wall or you want something new to try, the Shark Fin is a good option.

You may want to bring a stick clip up to the first bolt. The first bolt is a ways up and while the climbing is easy the rock to the first bolt is a bit chossy.
