The Shut-ins brown, pink, and purple porphyritic rhyolites generally face south, providing plenty of sun during a fall day. Rhyolite deposited over the area as ancient eruptions sent volcanic debris down the mountainous area of the time.

Now, many smooth facets of fractured rock provide perfect traditional leads and top roped climbs. For some bouldering is unavoidable.
