Description Suggest change

This clean, juggy wall is one of the steeper consistently angled 5.11s at Shelf, and if it were at Cactus, it would be a popular, highly polished classic.

Begin directly or with some easy stemming up orangish rock. Gain the crack feature and follow it up the gently overhanging wall. When the crack disappears, good sinker pockets provide snaking passage up the wall. The angle relents to vertical, then a slight slab and some technical moves out right & around the arete. Easier climbing up the double cracks on excellent stone lead to the top.

Location Suggest change

On the far right end of Spiney Ridge, only a few yards from turning the corner to The Gym, is a buttress with ~6 routes. This is the fourth bolted line from the right end.

Protection Suggest change

Bolts to 2 BA.
