Description Start just right of Hot .. Beach, and climb through two small roofs on amazing features. This is a very fun laybacking outing, highly recommended. It is well-protected at the crux but very runout above near the anchor on easy terrain.
Protection 11 bolts to a two-bolt anchor with chains. Sizeable runouts (20 feet) on 5.8 terrain at the top.

| Runouts on the top were not as bad as I expected. It may be they added a bolt or two or that it just seems tougher after pulling the two ledges. |

| The last couple of bolts are a little runout compared to the closely-spaced bolts near the two lower roofs, but the climbing is fairly easy. However, these last bolts can be supplemented with finger-sized cams. |

| Tons of fun, short cruxes, lots of rests. This has to be the easiest 10c at Shelf, considering I got up it no problem...
I thought Blackman's Burden, Christmas Tree, and Politically Incorrect were all way harder.
Good luck getting on it on a weekend. |

| There is quite a bit of loose rock on this route. I counted 4 loose blocks with Xs on them, which included the most obvious clipping holds for the bolt at the end of the runout section. Use caution, it would be a long ride.... |

| Very beta-intense and cool crux moves.
My math might be a little fuzzy, but not sure how an 80 ft. route with 11 bolts is 'runout.' Also, you can get up and down this with a 50m no problem. |

| Make sure to flip your rope out of the crack between the 8th and 9th bolts! Our rope got stuck there. |

| Over chalked and polished... even by Shelf standards. Still a good climb, but it's taking a beating. |
