Start

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.

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

Wedging in there for the reach.

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

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

My good friend Mark M leading Shockley's Ceiling circa 1981. I think we graduated HS a few weeks prior.

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

Taken roughly a month after 9/11

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.

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.

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.

Laura topping out with Dominic Albanese belaying away.

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

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

Many options exist. This being the groin jam technique.

The best part

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

Elbows, thighs, whatever it takes.

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.)
