Trad climbing at shelf road
|
Probably not what most people are looking for at Shelf, but anyone have a list of some favorite cracks or climbs that can be done on gear there? Don't mind the route are bolted too. Most good ones seem to be. Shelf is the closest crag to me, and sometimes I want to work on work on that without a big drive/approach. Looking for stuff broadly 5.9 and below, but some stuff in the 10s could be cool to work on bolts/tr then go for a redpoint on gear. |

Crynoid corner on Cactus Cliff and Apple cracks aka Slim on Piggy Bank are two controversially bolted 5.7 cracks that come to mind |

Check out tanner dome for some cool stuff on gear. Also, check out voyager on the other side of the road (see Bob Robertson's pamphlet for info on that area). Check out phantom canyon road for some good stuff on gear too (Robertson also sells a pamphlet for this area). |

I remember this climb being fairly fun and takes great gear. |

Right on guys, much appreciated. The majority of these are new to me, so I've got some stuff I can go check out now. I've got the PCR and voyager guidebooks as well, but haven't had checked through them since I picked up my rack. Time to have another look. |

Not a trad climb but I Claudius is fantastic and starts with some really nice crack climbing |
