Description Suggest change

Shellback Initiation is short and simple. It's a one move wonder. Reach and height will likely affect your experience on this one.

Sit start with a left hand on the nose's arete and a right hand crimp on the face. From there, gain a great right foot edge, slap the left hand up the arete, then make a big move to a right hand sloper below the lip, then match at the lip, and mantle on top.

Location Suggest change

It climbs the west side of the northwest arete.

Protection Suggest change

A pad or two. It has a good landing, but there is a rock behind the fall zone.
