Description

This is the route to get atop Dorsal Fin for top roping or walk off. Nothing tough except for dodging a tree or two and maybe high stepping a couple times.

At the top of the notch, climb left to access the top of the fin. Watch out for the shiny yellow stuff along a rock edge that must be some type of animal excrement.

Location

Climb the first crack of the main notch 150' uphill on the east/down canyon side. 5' farther is an even bigger crack/ravine you could climb.

You can also access it from the west side where it's only 3rd class (but the hike up is steeper/looser).

Protection

No pro required, really, though some medium to large cams/hexes with long slings would fit here and there, and you could sling something at the top if you really felt like it.
