Description

Although sizeable, this formation only has one recorded climb - Carribean Cruise (5.11c) - but it's worth the walk, especially if done in conjunction with some of the other quality cracks in the vicinity.

Getting There

Walk about a half mile from the eastern edge of the Virgin Islands proper to reach the East Virgin Isles. Tom Sawyer's Island is the large mass of rock just north of The Titanic with a striking splitter on it's east face.
