Description

The main wall at The Fins with lots of excellent routes in middle and hard grades, amongst them the hardest route in Idaho (5.14d). Awesome crimps and pockets - a must when you come to The Fins.

Approach

Same as for Yellow Cake Wall, just continue up steep along Discovery Wall. Just after half of the wall you reach the flat area.
