From the S. Note the notch in the summit...from w...
Description
This is a small spire located just to the W of Fin City. It catches your eye primarily as you sit atop Fin City looking W about 100 ft. You notice the natural notch in the skinny summit and wonder about a simul-rappel...and you notice a bit of white and wonder if someone has gone there before you. So, you wander over, find at least 3 lines to ascend, pick one, and find that the white was evidence that a bird enjoyed that spot for a while.
The L side of the S face (seen in the photo) had a nice lieback but it seemed like a #5 or 4.5 Camalot would be prudent.
Nonetheless, it can provide for another moderate pitch or 3 if you happen to be in the vicinity.
Descent is by simul rappel, which may be the best part.
Note, there seems to be plenty of rock for the exploring in this area.
Getting There
Hike the Gem Lake Trail to past the closest spot to Crescent Wall. Cross the draw where the draw between the trail & Crescent Wall is shallowest. Hike up as for Fin City.
