Description
To the right of the South Ridge route is a nice area with big pines and interesting stone. 3 routes are here... Left-to-right: Little Egypt, Fat Lady and Shell Game.
Shell Game has some cool holds but also some hollow-sounding flakes that may seem spooky. But they've been pried and pounded so I think they're ok.
Balancy in the middle, with a good crux at the end. A little hard to see the easiest sequence.
When you are at the upper roof, you might look up and see an anchor to your left. THIS IS THE FAT LADY ANCHOR. The Shell Game anchor is up and a little RIGHT. And it is easy to miss when you are under the roof. Maybe look at the attached topo photo.
Nice hang-out under big trees.
Shell Game starts just left of the big pine whose trunk almost touches the base of the crag.
