Description In Bob D’Antonio’s new guidebook for Shelf, this climb is listed as New Corner. Start on the rough dark brown rock and work your way up to a double crack system. At this point, the wall goes a little negative, but the feet are good and there are great jams and locks to supplement the face holds. Finish on a large flat ledge to the right of the crack system, where the right crack ends. I list this route here as .10a since that is the rating in Bob’s guide. I felt the climb is easier than Dillinger; I’d say 5.9. Rappel to descend.
Location New Comer is in the shallow corner between Shelfish and Dillinger.
Protection 8 bolts, bolt anchor.

| Fun route with a variety of techniques. It feels surprisingly steep at the top. |
