Description
This route ascends the huge, prominent left-facing corner near the south end of South Fin.
Start up the clean dihedral on thin fingers until you can get a stance for pro. Continue up through broken blocks, staying generally in the corner, until you come right under the large roof near the top.
While there are a couple of finishes, the most common is to move right under roof and up around corner. Continue up 15 feet to anchors.
While easily protected, this route is long and quite sustained, save for a couple good rests. It is also extremely fun! Some of the best crack moves around.
To descend, move back about ten feet to chains for Male Menopause, and rap down west face of South Fin back to start.
