On October 4th, I free climbed up Sharkfin Tower (5.0) in the North Cascades. This was a super fun climb, right at the edge of my comfort zone for soloing. Boston Basin was insanely beautiful! Unfortunately my camera glitched on the upper half the summit block climb, so that portion of the route is best documented in the down climbing. Also I had screenshotted the wrong part of the route for the rappelling, so it was a bit of guess and check, which I ended up rapping to the end of my rope and then down climbing some semi sketchy cliffs. I would recommend planning on a multi pitch rappel for this climb. The "3rd class gully" off the glacier was very loose and wet which made it more like 4th class in places and was one of the sketchier parts of this climb. Overall though it was quite Epic!
