Overview of Shady Side Left with some routes marke...

Description 

This is the furthest left section of cliff, and the first encountered along the approach. Routes on the left half of the wall are super steep and bouldery, with generally only 2 or 3 hard moves, and lots of jugs. This cliff is very exposed, so be sure to use a stick clip on these routes. On the right side of this cliff section, routes are vertical to slabby, more moderate and technical.

Several routes in this area are named for the graffiti that adorn the route's base.

From Left to Right, routes are:
1. Pipsqueak, 5.13a
2. Open Project
3. Doug, 5.13a
4. Oktoberfest, 5.13b
5. Big Bad Love, 5.13c

Bandit is another typical Shady Side 5.11, with difficult opening moves, and unnerving rounded slopers higher up.

Continue on pumping slopers to another difficult section on thin slopers just below the chains....[more]   Browse More Classics in NM
