Description

A pleasant featured face to the top of the upper fin. Start with some slabby moves on rounded features to better holds and a steep finish on great (albeit thin) chickenheads and plates. Pull with care on these cool features as this is Butte rock!

Location

Further down the narrow corridor past Razorburn. This is essentially above the top of S-Crack, on the west face of the upper fin. Ratfink Crack (left-leaning fingers and hands) is immediately to the left.
