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.

On the summit casting shadows.

Easy climb, nice rappel.

View from the third belay station (counting the ground). Easy climbing all the way up!

starting up the slab

fun and easy climb, super sweet rappel!

Here is the view from a distance.

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.

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).

Great exposure

Pitch 1; pretty low angle mellow cruising

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

Brian and Dalon; Great views from the top of this climb!

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

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.
