Super tiny climber found near base of route.

End of a fine fall day at Shelf.

When I tell people my van caught fire, I don't think they can really imagine exactly what I mean. This photo helps.

Look really closely, someone is up there climbing! (right hand corner of rock).

Heads up for this guy (left) at Shelf. He says he is from Colorado Springs and that it is standard to steal fixed draws where he is from. Tried stealing 30 something draws at Smith and got caught.

Shelf Road native.

If you look on the bigger rock, on the corner, there is someone climbing with a red hat. Welcome to Shelf Rd!

Lenticulars over Cactus Cliff.

She is ready for sending temps and putting in some serious projecting work. You can see her around these cliffs being shot into the air like a rocket but never letting go of the brake strand. She is... the ultimate belayer.

Yeah, exposure.

Big flames after a day of getting flamed.

Guardian of the trail. Sorry, don't know my rattlesnakes, but this one was green.

Map of Shelf Road and the surrounding lands.

Driving out the north-end along Shelf Rd is a nice Scenic by-way. Hard to believe folks went climbing in horse-drawn carriages.

Warming up.
