On the summit casting shadows.

Easy climb, nice rappel.

Theater of Shadows rappel

Nice rapp down...take a 70M.

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

Sheri starting up pitch one on Theatre of Shadows!

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

Pitch 1; pretty low angle mellow cruising

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

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

The "free" portion of the rappel.

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

What a view

Rappelling into the gully

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

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

Folks climbing and rapping the route

great climb

On the summit with Logan

Buddy on top of Jackson's Thumb

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

One of my favorite climbs ever

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.

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

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.
