3 out of 5 stars Fun climb

Always feels wet inside even when its not, just that smooth. I liked it but i also topped it cause I didn't have my gear on me.

3 out of 5 stars interesting route

When I climbed this I felt like I was wondering all over the rock, but the moves were good and the holds solid. I didn't like the spot right before the anchors. Unless I grabbed the chains ( i try not to) I couldnt really find a good spot to clip the anchors, the holds just kind of died just out of reach. Also HIGH start, like they said its not that hard to climb up to it, but damn is it up there.

5 out of 5 stars Caw Caw

The raven is one of the best (and only i guess) routes Ive climbed at Shelf, and man i loved it. Kinda tricky getting off the deck but once your up there some sweet laybacks and good climbing

4 out of 5 stars Jackson can Dance

Even though its not that jackson great feet and fun times on this easier route. I always do this one to get back into the feel of shelf, dang sandstone throws me off from the nice limestone at shelf.

4 out of 5 stars The Snake

After several attempts I finally finished my first complete lead of this route. I did fall a few times, but now Ive got the moves down so next time its all in one go. Its such a beautiful route I will climb it again and again for sure.

4 out of 5 stars Yay potholes!

Fun slightly off balancy moves, with great hands and feet. And of course you get to show off the half the worlds population of tourists.

4 out of 5 stars chimmney fun

A fun climb, but the first pitch is just juggy... love the second pitch though, get your butt in that chimmney with lots of big old holds and you just jam yourself in there. Didn't do third pitch though, short and I dislike walking off in my climbing shoes. IF YOU RAPELL OF THE SECOND PITCH MAKE SURE TO GO OFF THE BACKSIDE. YOU CANNOT RETREIEVE YOUR ROPE FROM THE FRONT SIDE! There is simply to much friction to get your rope back. You also need 2 ropes to get back to the ground, or be willing to do some easy downclimbing.
