Description
A few meters right of Water Grove, there is a second set of crack systems, another 10-15 meters north. There cross in a narrow "X." The one starting to the right and rising up and left is Shark Accrack.
Start up on a few slabby moves to reach a 5" crack for a few body lengths (perfect knee locks, crux) which quickly becomes a hand-crack. Cross a second crack system in the middle of the "X" just above a tree, and continue toward the top. There is a small overlap with a small poison ivy plant which is easily avoided at 2/3 of the height up to the top. Finish by climbing up the ridge to the South.
