fun and easy climb, super sweet rappel!

Nice rapp down...take a 70M.

Shadows of a friend and I starting the 4th pitch. Hence the name...

Taking a breather and catching some shade on Jackson's Thumb

A queue of climbers at the base of Theatre of Shadows. It's a popular route.

Looking down the 5.6 slab on Theatre of Shadows. This climb is bolted for the 5.6 leader.

The rap is indeed free hanging for a while, and very fun!!

Here is the view from a distance.

View from the top. The rappel station from the top would be at the left side of this photo (the right side of the climb as you are facing it).

Near the end of the first rappel from the summit.

View from the bottom. Here you can see how closely the bolts are spaced. This is a great climb for a new leader because there are so many bolts; you'll always feel safe.

Great exposure

First pitch belay is spacious and comfortable and way too much fun for this bunch

Steinfell's Dome and Jackson's Thumb from the edge of the Inner City.

Pic from July 4th climb, great day to be on the rock! Definitely aim for shade if you're climbing in the summer here. It gets toasty in the afternoon hours.

Early morning shot looking up at Steinfells Dome and Jacksons thumb where Theatre of Shadows awaits!

Michelle on the third pitch

Jackson's Thumb, home of Theater of Shadows.

P3. EZ OK to skip clipping some bolts. Bring approach shoes for gully descent. Definitely worth the approach and gully thrash descent.

Late afternoon at Jackson's Thumb, shows why it's called Theater of Shadows.
