Dorsal Fin

This climbs the NE face of the fin-shaped buttress on the left side of the Upper Tier. It's not the greatest rock in the world, but the climbing -- on great flakes and jugs, is fun as hell and worth the effort in my opinion. Plus, bagging an isolated summit is kind of cool too. Quite a bit of choss wrangling occurred on the FA but the route has cleaned up quite nicely overall.

Climb past ~ 7 bolts up the center of the wall on crimps and good flakes to the top. Bolts on top with chains hanging over the edge accommodate either a "topout" experience, or a clean lower off from below. If topping out, just beware of the gravelly kitty litter rock above the anchor. Also, the start is easy, but the rock is funky, and the first bolt slightly high -- not a bad spot for a stickclip if you have one.

It is on the left side of Upper Tier on an obvious, dorsal fin-shaped buttress.

7 or so bolts (bolt 1 and 4 were added after the FA to enhance fun and safety margins).
