Description
Climb the blunt arete on the western most side of the south end of Gilligan's Island.
Start with you left hand in a good jug and you right on a small sloping crimp that has a crystal for your little finger. Toss up with your right to a bad sloper then get a heel hook up and right. Now you began the desperate journey to the top slapping and crimping small pebbles to higher but easier ground.
This is a great line!! It is a must do in the area!!

Location
It is located on the south end of Gilligan's Island. When the trail from the parking lot splits, go left or west passing the "20 ft. Wave" block and the "Ship's Prow" boulder. Just west, about 20 yards, past the "Ship's Prow" boulder you can see this blunt arete just barely covered by high tree limbs. You can see it from the trail, and it is hard to miss.
