[Peak][Filthy Crag Q][Shadow Shark][7a+]

Climbed the last of the obvious main lines here on Thurs (though there's still a handfull of lines to do on the top blocks). Shadow Shark is on the block sat atop the Wind Shark boulder. It climbs the obvious overhanging prow/nose feature from a crouched start on arete and undercut. I think it's pretty good, lots of sloper hugging and heels.
Doing from a full sitter will add a hard move and maybe push it up a grade, though I think the crouch start makes for a better problem. There also looks to be a possible hard LH start to add.
Worth bringing tent pegs if you are trying without a spot as the pad can slide on the slippery pine needles.
With the tree shade and windyness of the crag it's deffo a good bet for these hot days for those not ready for the lime yet.
