Description

Start just right of Hot .. Beach, and climb through two small roofs on amazing features. A very fun laybacking outing, highly recommended. Well protected at the crux, but very runout above near the anchor on easy terrain.

Protection

11 bolts to a two-bolt anchor with chains. Sizeable runouts (20 feet) on 5.8 terrain at the top.

Runouts on the top were not as bad as I expected. It may be they added a bolt or two or that it just seems tougher after pulling the two ledges.

The last couple of bolts are a little runout compared to the closely-spaced bolts near the two lower roofs, but the climbing is fairly easy. However, these last bolts can be supplemented with finger-sized cams.

Tons of fun, short cruxes, lots of rests. This has to be the easiest 10c at Shelf, considering I got up it no problem...

I thought Blackman's Burden, Christmas Tree, and Politically Incorrect were all way harder.

Good luck getting on it on a weekend.
