Description
North Fin hosts a very high concentration of quality rock routes ranging from 5.7 to 5.13. With both trad, sport, and mixed climbs there is something for everyone, and rock quality is generally excellent. It is also very accessible from Windy Point making it a popular destination.
Most of the climbs are east facing and shady in spots, especially later in the day. Though there are a few climbs at the southern end, including the ever-popular Slippery When Wet (5.7), that receive sun until late afternoon.
Getting There
Driving up the Catalina Highway, park at Windy Point (mp 14.3). From the parking lot at the overlook walk past the outhouses and proceed down the obvious trail.
Hike this trail out the ridge away from the highway. In a couple of hundred yards, the trail drops slightly below the ridgeline to the right.
Continuing down this trail, you'll approach Nancy's Thumb, a large pinnacle with an obvious crack on its north side. The base of South Fin climbs are accessed by descending the steep gully just below Nancy's Thumb. The climbs are on the right-hand wall as you descend (the left-hand wall is South Fin). Allow five minutes for the approach.
You can also set up topropes by walking around the back side of Nancy's Thumb to access the anchors.
