Description:
Start left of a huge dihedral, climb an easy face to a decent belay ledge. Second pitch is very fun and steep 5.5 to a huge ledge under the obvious roof. The third pitch avoids the infamous roof, and heads up trending left (5.4). Use either the Shockley's rappel, or wander about 40 feet (climber's) left to the Ribless rappel (very nice, bolted).

My first multi-pitch, first trad climb
As the middle of 3 climbers, I can't call myself a true second - I cleaned no gear. Fell once on P2 when my arms pumped out at the crux. Wanted to do the ceiling, but will have to come back when I am stronger and more efficient. The views from the two belay ledges were stellar on a clear day. I can see why this one is a classic.

Yes, I did it without. No, I am not proud. Yes, I will do it with the next time. Damn it.

Ascent Note
Lead pitches 1 and 3 in May of 2004 as my first trad leads. Came back and lead pitch 2, which was excellent. Then since we were completely dehydrated and worn out and I was told that Shockley’s shouldn’t be my first 5.6 lead, of course I had to try to pull the ceiling. I took about a 10 footer onto a bomber #2 C4. I will surely pull through the ceiling next time. Oh and down climbing and pulling out gear sucks.

Ascent Note
We planned to do the ceiling, but it was too hard for the lead, so he downclimbed and we did the without instead.
