Description

Start on chalked crimps on the right side of the slab. Crux is getting established on the slab. Careful of the dark rock which offers an inviting starting foothold - it will spit you off if the rock is warm (best to avoid it altogether). From there, move up and left toward the notch. Can finish by climbing through the notch and down, or can hand traverse up and left to the top of the boulder for extra excitement.

Location

Right side of slabby south face of fin.
