Description Suggest change

In the interest of adding more moderates in the Agatha Christie gully we decided to check out this section of less than classic looking section of rock. I used to set up top-ropes on this section of South Fin which is opposite 5 O'clock Shadow for climbing students. I may or may not have lead or soloed them in the 80s as I am guessing others have. I did not do them in the current configuration however and by using bolts to protect the faces instead of following the weaknesses there are three short and fun new lines to do while at the North Fin. 

This climb starts up a shallow dihedral where the first moderate crux is then it wanders right then back left to finish on the upper headwall.  Cool palm down move at this start of a more difficult and longer second crux.

Fun and it has shade in the morning.

Location Suggest change

Descend North Fin Gully as you would to do Agatha Christie. The climb and the two others we did is on the east side of the gully opposite of 5 O'clock Shadow.

Protection Suggest change

6 bolts lower offs
