Description 

"The Rising" is located on a clean panel of rock on the right side of Spiney Ridge. It is listed as project in the Thompson guide and as route 16 in the photo below. Climb up a short corner to the first bolt. Clip the first bolt and make a hard move onto the steep, red wall on good pockets. Climb up excellent rock on good pockets and edges passing several bolts. Hard face climbing leads to the last bolt and the crux. Make several hard moves past the last bolt and race your forearms to the anchor.

One of the best pitches at Shelf.

Protection 

Eight bolts lead to a two-bolt anchor.
