Hey all, we've been to Shelf many times over the years and only got skunked once due to bad weather. It's a 5.5 hour drive for us so given the forecast for this Friday/Saturday/Sunday, would you drive 5.5 hours? Looks plenty good to me but I'm interested in the opinion of those that frequent Shelf. Thanks for your input.

Ya, the forecast does look a little warm for Shelf, but there's plenty of shade to be found, especially if you can tolerate a little solitude.

Jason, as long as the forcast doesn't change for the worse - mid to low 50's & mostly sunny on Fri. & Sat. will be near perfect conditions; Sunday will be 10 deg. cooler but that is still usually good & you'll probably head out early anyhow. I would definitely do the drive if it were me & I could get 3 days to go climb. So yes, yes I can dig it!!! Sadly, however I won't be climbing this weekend :(

Mono, no worries, I plan to climb in speedos to offset the heat. Y'all better hope I find solitude while sporting the speedos.

Glen, glad you dig it man! (But sorry you won't be climbing this weekend.) The wind looks to be a non-issue, too, bonus.

Thanks for the input, fellas. Psyched!!
