Description

Shadow Work was the first modern route on the Black Creek Wall established as a mixed climb with 3 bolts. It has been retrobolted but retains some of the original flavor.

Climb the leftmost bolted route on the main buttress, starting up a left-trending ramp system. Expect long runouts on some easier climbing up to the first crux at a lower roof system. Continue up easier, runout ground to a mid-pitch lowering station, then pull through a second roof crux, and climb easier ground to the top. With a 70m rope, you can lower to the mid-anchor, pull the rope, and rap/lower to the ground.

Location

It is the left of two black hanger routes on the main wall. To the left, the wall turns a corner, and there are 4 routes in an alcove right of the Black Hole Cave.
