Spanking the Shark's Fin
This is in the "Alabama Hills" near Lone Pine, CA. Not sure if this one was actually "East Face" route or "The Shark's Fin Arete." Either way, it was no problem (5.8?). The view at the top is the real reason for doing it... the Sierras look great from up there! I'm the climber in this photo taken by my brother, Elliot Warden.
