Shark's Fin

Named for the awesome flake that sits out away from the wall about 20 feet up and looks just like a shark fin, this pumpy sport route runs up the face between Damnation and Salvation. It can also easily be done on top rope as those anchors are on top and easy to set up. Just take the trail up on the far left.

Like Triple Play, this bolt line can service at least three route paths - left, direct, and right. I personally like to run all three but the classic line is direct and engages the Fin dead on. Do it direct first, lock on to the fin and pull hard and up to get set for bolt four. Get ready though, the next block is right in your face and no picnic. The ledge you'll be standing on is big enough to rest and shake out before you send to the anchors. Double hard clip into the Wave bolts and use the quicklinks at the ends of the chain for lowering. That way your belayer can make a run on top rope and clean the draws and be lowered, or you can pull the rope for the belayer to lead and lower. Nice and easy - no fuss no muss. This is important because this wall is really overhung making it difficult to clean draws on the way down.

Upper Wall right side. Look for the bolts and chains above.The Upper Wall is best accessed by the upper parking lot and up the trail next to the sign. Run this trail a few times and you’ll be more than warmed up for climbing the Fin. :)
