Success! And she managed to maintain her sense of humor.

It's a tough move for 5.6, especially if you don't have experience with the Gunks. And it was Crystal's first visit.

Shortly after this, he fell. This is the photo that was displayed at the Mohonk Visitor Center for many years, and is the photo that "covers" Shockley's Ceiling in Dick Dumais' book "The Shawangunks", here digitized from the original slide.

She demonstrated a lot of strength during this struggle, with much of her weight on her arms.

Nice shot from the hairpin on 12 December of someone getting some!

Just under the roof

He stopped and belayed in the middle of the pitch, at the top of the corner above the first crux roof. A very good idea if the follower might have trouble with the roof.

I'm leading Shockley's as the last pitch of a Strictly from Nowhere linkup.

the intermediate rap right below the ceiling is a bit crunched, but at least I got a seat

Some good exposure, although you don't notice it when doing this move, since you can't even see your feet, let alone the hairpin turn.

Many options exist. This being the groin jam technique.

Even my 6'7" husband, Pawel, was stretching to make this reach!

Spacious ledge at the top of first pitch. We made an anchor in the left corner, but the route goes to the right.

My lead of the money pitch. Thank you Ashlee for the picture.

Unknown climber at the second roof on P3

Of course, it wasn't entirely over. Here she approaches the second roof, which some find more difficult than the first. (But not Crystal--she cruised it.)
