This climb starts at the right side of the mini alcove near the first oak tree you come across entering The Fin. A deceivingly easy start is following by gradually increasing difficulty as the route begins to follow a fist-jammable crack. Near the top of P1, a crux roof is encountered, well-protected if you still have a #2 camalot on hand. There is a potentially detached block prior to this, but it can be largely avoided with some careful climbing. Due to rope drag and the change of direction from the beginning of the climb to the upper section, double or twin ropes are advised. 

 From the base of the climb - Head up the right side of the mini alcove towards a small tree just before toping out on a flat platform (beware the choss blocks on the left). Once at platform, head to the dihedral to then pop out onto the face of the wall.

 From the face of the wall - Follow the crack up the most obvious line towards a resting spot just beneath the crux mini roof. Potential loose rock if you veer too far to right, leading to In The Pocket’s upper section, but plenty of space for solid protection. Once at the mini roof, bump up onto the exposed face of the roof veering slightly left - this leads to a nice grassy platform. Continue right, up the chossy chimney before topping out of the climb. Potential lose rock while topping out.

 Descent is a walk off to the north.

Jewel in the Rough

Kelly's Climb

In the Pocket

Grunt

Thin Red Line

Climb the obvious crack to the face and continue up the face clipping a few bolts.

Climb the crack for about 12 feet, traverse left (do Not go to the end of the crack) and continue up the weakness.  Belay just after a short wide section.  Continue up, generally left, to a large ledge and belay. 

  Edmund Ward climbed an exciting 5.9 variation to the right.  Cross a substantial ledge and traverse right to a shallow corner.  Go up the corner, step left and protect a small roof.  Continue to the large ledge at the top of In the Pocket.

Climb the left facing weakness on the right of the slab.

Climb the weakness in the center of the face, protecting the small crack and then pass the bulge on the left with bolts.  This route was an old TR. 

  There is a bolted 5.11 variation going right at the top.  Kelly bolted the face and led both variations.

This is the alcove and fin area to the west of Southern Comfort Wall.
