Description

Named after my late and great friend, Scott Adamson who passed away a few weeks prior to the FA. Every pitch is truly fantastic with massive ledges for each belay.

P1 - Fun face climbing with great pro lands you at a ledge. 5.8 100'

P2 - Broken face with good pro. 5.9 100'

P3 - Launch up an incredible aching 5.10 finger crack. When the crack dissipates at the roof, I went left and found an un-protectable 5.11b friction stem box in a dihedral, though I now think it would have been smarter to simply climb straight through the roof. 5.11b R/X 200'

P4 - Ridge scramblin! 5.8 200'

P5 - Absolutely amazing splitter 5.11 fingers in a slightly over-hanging dihedral. It really doesn't get better. 5.11 100'

P6 - Chimney to the ridge. Scramble the beautiful ridge to the back of the formation. 5.8/9 100'

Descent - One rappel off the back of the fin via a slung block or small tree (I can't remember, but it's obvious).

Location

This is the ridge line on the largest of the fins. Hike up a steep gully to the base and proceed to laugh out loud at the potential for amazing routes on the fins that surround you.

Protection

Double rack to BD #3.

Two 60m ropes.
