Description
This is a combination of 2 entries consolidated to avoid duplication within the database.
This route is located on the southwest corner of Sharksfin (previously mistakenly noted as the west face of Pinpoint). Per Greg Sievers: the bright yellow lichen on this plate next to a small cave on the bottom left of this rock will identify it. Start off the southwest corner of Sharksfin (previously mistakenly noted as the NW corner of Pinpoint). There is/was a loose section at the start that was cleared of a decent-sized block in 2001. Per Greg Sievers: step up to clip the first bolt and then reposition yourself. throw a right heel hook to hinge onto the start. Find moderate and enjoyable, pretty, face climbing past 5 bolts trending right to the top. The rating might be generous for the moves but might feel close given the alpine feel. The rock and lichen are photogenic here. Rap.
Per Greg Sievers: this is a nice little addition to the day, when you're adding mileage.
Per Doug Haller: this appears to be pitch 5 of Golden Staircase.
