I climbed this problem, which I called Halo, first from the arete at v2 or3, then added a sit start down and to the left on rails at v5ish. Getting down was sketchy!

Some rail/tufa thing that I projected. Linked up about 10 feet of it to the lip (v9?), but could not pull the lip and finish.
Tehipite Dome, Middle Fork of The Kings River Canyon.
Tehipite Dome rises 3,500 feet from The Middle Fork of The King's River. This Canyon is remote and pristine. A climber's paradise.
South Fork Kings Canyon from North Dome. Striking resemblance to Yosemite, minus the people of course. And it don't have just any old sentinel, that's the grand, folks.

Placing.
We dubbed this one the Sharks Tooth. Did two lines, one on the left and then the center. Maybe 5.9
