Warning Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures DetailsDrop down

Description Suggest change

Shake-N-Bake is a Pinnacles classic. Three bolts bring you to the first anchor which is three bolts. It is possible to get a decent nut in before traversing out to the first bolt. The theme here is traversing on okay but not great rock. Challenging for the follower as well as the leader. Pitches two and three offer wonderful "silo" style stemming up a water streak. Rock quality on pitches two and three is good by Pinnacles standards. Though steep for the grade, decent stemming technique will keep the pump at bay. Two 60 meter ropes will get you down in two raps of the route Electric Blue. Shake-N-Bake earns its "R" rating (on every pitch) but confident 5.10 leaders will find it very enjoyable and never desperate. Check for seasonal closures due to nesting. Climbed 11/27/11

Protection Suggest change

Draws and a few slings. A few nuts (see guidebook recommendations).  Three bolts on pitch 1.  Seven bolts on pitch 2. Three bolts on pitch 3 to the bolted anchor of Electric Blue on the left.
