Description Suggest change

Shark's Fin Wall is the next wall down the cliff-line from the Umbrella Wall. It has a large, unmistakeable black streak with a right diagonal crack that resembles a shark's fin...hence the name? There are only few routes on the left and right hand sides of the wall. The far right corner dihedral system has a sport climb on the face to the left of it named "Stingray", and the far left corner of the wall has the multi-pitch sport climbs "Sea of Cowards" and "Hicotomus Hikodemus".

Getting There Suggest change

Start with the same as the approach to Umbrella Wall. Hike up to Umbrella Wall, and traverse to the right (west).
