Super tiny climber found near base of route.

End of a fine fall day at Shelf.

When I tell people my van caught fire, I don't think they can really imagine exactly what I mean. This photo helps.

Shelf Road native.

Look really closely, someone is up there climbing! (right hand corner of rock).

Heads up for this guy (left) at Shelf. He says he is from Colorado Springs and that it is standard to steal fixed draws where he is from. Tried stealing 30 something draws at Smith and got caught.

If you look on the bigger rock, on the corner, there is someone climbing with a red hat. Welcome to Shelf Rd!

Aspen (then age 11) totally worked but enjoying the camping scene after a long day of cragging at Shelf, 2005.

Yeah, exposure.

She is ready for sending temps and putting in some serious projecting work. You can see her around these cliffs being shot into the air like a rocket but never letting go of the brake strand. She is... the ultimate belayer.

Watch out for the dogs!

Dogs seem to like it here.

Watch out for these little guys at night!

End of the day at Shelf.

Crossing the stream bed on the way back to the Bank parking lot on a beautiful February day.

Big flames after a day of getting flamed.

Guardian of the trail. Sorry, don't know my rattlesnakes, but this one was green.

Found these guys running loose on Shelf just east of the old Cactus Cliff road gate.

Warming up.

Driving out the north-end along Shelf Rd is a nice Scenic by-way. Hard to believe folks went climbing in horse-drawn carriages.
