Description

The Fin is the tower found uphill and to the SW from P. Mosh Wall and Whistler's Mother. It faces NE and gets shade about mid-morning.

Getting There

We took the trail towards P. Mosh Wall, then bushwhacked up and left when possible. The hillside is steep and loose with some of cactus and poison ivy thrown in!
