From the land owner: I am Michael Frazier owner of the Puoux climbing area. A few things I need to clarify. We want Everyone to feel welcome. We are asking everyone to fill out waivers for two reasons. The first is obvious. To cover our behinds. The second reason is to help us keep Interstate access open by showing C Dot historical access. I would like to see the waiver forms posted on this page. The other thing I would like to address is that we would like to be notified of any modifications of trails , platforms, and routes before they have began. Under no circumstances do we want rock chipping for hold placement. If you can't climb it as it is please choose another climb that is easier or improve your technique. One more thing. We have never issued trespassing tickets and I would like that taken off the description at the top of this page.
Description
Five O'Clock Shadow climbs a panel of gray rock above the popular moderates, Graybeard and Bearded Outlaw.
It's possible to climb this in one long pitch, combined with Bearded Outlaw. Or, climb Graybeard or Bearded Outlaw, and belay on the ledge above their anchors at a 2 glue-in bolt anchor. From there, step left and on to the gray slab that makes up Five O'Clock Shadow.
Five O'Clock Shadow has positive holds, good texture, and a crux early on that involves some balance and finding the best holds.
You can stop at an anchor below the edge of the cliff for a lower or you can continue to the top of the cliff where you can belay from above and rappel from chains with rings.
You need a full 60 meter rope to lower or rappel. Watch your ends, and put knots in the ends.
Location
From the ledge above Graybeard and Bearded Outlaw, look up and left for glue-in bolts on a gray slab of great rock.
