Description:

Classic airy, scary route that climbs the thin spine (18" at it's narrowest) of this 140' fin. Begin by making sandy moves (5.7) up to and onto the spine. Follow the spine up to a flat belay stance about 100' up. Continue up the last 40' (5.6) to the summit ridge. Straddle and belay. Can lead the whole thing on one 60m rope, but must have two ropes for the rappel.

4 out of 5 stars Chacos

Yes I did this whole climb in sandles, it was great. The old foot holds almost look cut into the rock it's crazy but still very fun. There are three Anchors on the very top now.
