Description Suggest change

Shotgun has some of the best technical 5.12 finger jamming at the Forks, and this sawed off, double barrel line is loaded with good gear. Better keep your eye on the target and your trigger finger at the ready for this one.

This route is to the right of On The Edge. Climb up a short vertical band to a gravelly ledge. Shotgun follows the seam/finger crack up the slender right facing dihedral with some tight, steep moves down low, strong stemming and thin jamming in the middle, and nice long moves at the top. 

Though a bit on the short side, this pitch really packs it in. It’s also a good, solid 5.12 to save for an onsight because the gear is rather straightforward, and there are not a whole lot of straightforward routes around at the grade. Despite this fact, it doesn’t see a whole lot of successful onsights. Ask whoever is riding shotgun to rap down first and brush the surface silt off.

Just to the right of On The Edge

Wires and small cams. Grey-yellow Metolius. The gear is all bomber.
