Excellent warming via with a gentle overhanging crux, I do not know the name or grade but I estimate it is 5.10

Hector in....

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Nice route with a explosive start...I do not know the name or grade but after the second bolt it is 5.8...the start is maybe 5.11

Migueloso on....

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Nice route, gently overhanging, with good hand and foot holds, great moves to arrive anchors...maybe it is 5.11

nearing the crux first bolt

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700

from here you go into a figure 9 to clip the first bolt. Sketchy!!!

Shape Shifter

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Tom Murphy getting the second ascent after barely letting the holds cool after the FA.
Shape Shifter 12c - 50m - 17 bolts plus Ring and chain anchor - Clip the first bolt from the top of the boulder using a locker to minimize fall potential.. Scramble back down and climb out the roof and then past the first bolt. An attentive belayer can keep you safe going for the second bolt. Powerful and tricky moves lead to excellent and ever changing climbing terrain above.
