Description
An eye catching shark tooth arete leading as far as the eye can see. While it's not the literal best pitch in the whole world, this is very unique and very fun.
Best done as a single 68 meter pitch from the ground by starting on Salty Dog Arete. Extend draws religiously and skip bolts if able, as the rope drag will kill you if you just use regular draws.
You can get down with a single rope by doing 3 raps off to climbers left to the ground. Alternatively, you can rap 35 meters off climbers right to the large ledge and then make an easy scramble to the anchor of Gunswinger.
