Description
'Crags' slab climbing at its best. Sack-up for this one. "It ain't no sport climb - it's a bolted protected rock climb!" (per Mr. Kimball himself) Stellar slab climbing, edges and pasting.
Start on a network of web-like seams in the middle of the wall, followed by a crux roof sequence.
2-bolt anchor over the roof has been added. or Scramble over the top and down onto a platform on the SW corner of the Shark Fin.
Extra credit: while there climb the short, 5-bolt, but sweet Yellow Butterfly (5.9+) on Shark Fin.
Walk off, down around to the left (north) to return to the base in a counterclockwise hike. Totally worth the walk.
