Be sure you have a 70m rope for this climb. There are two starts for this climb, the left start goes up and right around an overhang and the right start goes straight up the overlaps. Morning shade, afternoon sun. Both starts are harder than the rest of the climb but, if you fiddle around, you'll find the holds.

The Fin

Only 40 ft but it's going to make you think.  Up the slabby face to the overhang which gets you to the base of the fin. Third bolt is a tricky clip but solid if you read it right.  Last bolt was for us, we didn't want to take that fall.

First bolt is 15 feet up on easy 5.0 terrain. Tricky traversing crux moving left after first bolt. Look for a second bolt clipping hold for right hand. After the ramp it's straight forward face climbing with some fun, reachy slab moves below the anchor.

Any climb that has traversing will have some rope drag so bring a couple of trad draws.

It's going to be interesting seeing the grade consensus on this and the Fin.

Use a 70 meter rope!  Boulder problem start is 10 b/ c and the middle eases off quite a lot  The top  third is technical and tricky going at 10a ish.  It's possible to climb the tree and clip the second bolt, bypassing or top-roping the crux move.  You might want to un-clip the first bolt as there will be some rope drag although we didn't think it was that bad.  As with all new climbs watch for loose rock.

Be sure you have a 70m rope for this climb. This route has a little of everything, friction, hand/finger cracks, overhang, stemming etc. There are two cruxes, the steep start and 3/4 of the way up in a dihedral to an overhang. Morning shade, afternoon sun.
