Getting There
Approach will depend on what aspect of the feature you are attempting, This description is for the only route I am aware of (though there is new-route potential on the left side of the face).
Approach as for Pared del Tiempo. In the open bivy area, there is a patch of vegetation/boulder field on the bivy side of the large river fed by Espejo and Escudo (not either of the rivers you cross on the hike up, the much larger one). Cross this river above the vegetation patch and find a subtle but flagged/cairned trail to cut through the forest, including a walk along an old fallen tree until you poke out at the bottom of a long gully leading to Sharks Fin/Pared del Tiempo. Follow it up until you reach the snowpatch/river (reliable water until very late season), continue up hugging the right side of the river/snowpatch until you reach the sharks fin/pared del tiempo gulley. Early season you may need to navigate 10-25 meters of the snow in the gully to reach the base of the routes.
