Description
[NOTE: Apparently the same climb as "Prow" and or "Shark's Tooth right". RHall Admin.]
Coarse rock, stand start on right side of overhanging triangular boulder, and traverse the lip, topping out at the point.
The "Lip Traverse" (right), is a V4 stand start.
There's also a sit start on decent incut crimps, with a heinous heel hook at the beginning.
It is the consensus among locals that the sit start (lowest possible start on the right), definitely adds a number grade to this problem V5 to V5+.

Location
Take the stairs near the bus turn around at the entrance to the parking lot for Echo Lake. Head straight up to the visible boulders as a point of reference. For this climb, go farther up to the right about 100 yards, passing a smaller overhanging triangular roof and proceeding to the larger one.
