Rated G for me, using the tree http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=91065 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - Got it right the second time http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=88904 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - Looks wierd but is a really unique climb for shelf, give it a try, I didn't want to at first but was glad I did! http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=73720 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 5 - This is a great climb that felt as hard if not harder than access all areas. The crux is definately the crack portion. One could bring a few finger size pieces if they were not comfortable with the bolt spacing. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=82338 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 3 - Failed the crux (I took the 11a way) the first time, went back and killed it. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=80909 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - Good climb for the beginning 11 leader. Somehow I walked right up it. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=82415 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 5 - I thought it was a little soft for the grade. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=83927 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - Not really an 11, but the pump factor and length is why. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=82786 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 3 - fun, well protected http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=81121 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 3 - Not a bad climb, the first portion is mentally stimulating. The rest is pretty straightforward but seems crowded by the other climbs around it. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=82418 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 3 - I didn't really like this route. The routefinding was annoying and the moves were not all that interesting. The top is sharp. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=82419 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 3 - Use the crack! The beginning of the sharp part sucks, but the second half of the climb is really fun. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=73388 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - for me, a mainly forgettable black canyon route. Crux pitch nice, and the pitch afterward runout and challenging. Otherwise, not noteworthy http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=26977 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - This is a nice technical route with a little pump to it. The only detraction is how close it gets to the route right of it. The guidebook gives it a 5.10d which I'd agree with. No way is it 5.11a. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=59981 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - Beautiful climb--I love it, partners hate it. I kept falling at the top after the crux, finally nailed it on my last day in Colorado. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=63565 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - This is a nice little corner that has some nice moves but it just seems weird near the top. Not hard, just weird. It made a good first lead for one of the people in our group. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=59980 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 3 - nice fun climb, more of a 9 than a 10.... http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=66840 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 3 - This climb has a roof! Not many of those at Shelf. Tried it as a beginner, finally got it clean ground up. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=27031 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - Took me a few tries but finally figured out the beginning, the rest is really easy crack and stemming. SHARP in the crack. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=44492 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 3 - This route is just up hill from comic relief in the SOB gulley. The bottom 15 ft of the route changed due to rock fall. After first pitch we were lost, and wandered around until we got to the first 11 crux--and arching finger crack. This leads to a ramp where you can bail, or access the top part. first pitch off ledge is bouldery 5.11 to easy climbing. next pitch has a death block in a dihedral you need to climb around-second seek shelter under huge roof. next pitch is rotten, scary, compelling 5.11 to a roof and ledge. Take a # 4 camalot. Fourth pitch comitting slab to a roof crux--more like 11 +. Fifth pitch wander up crack, face and death blocks. Next pitch is off left a bit, a large "black dihedral" minimal gear, committing. After this long pitch is a short easy section to the top. A route for the canyoneer. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=26986 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 3 - This route is just up hill from comic relief in the SOB gulley.

A bit sporty. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=18432 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - First three bolts are 9 then easy after that. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=61748 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - Sweet pockets, some very interesting bolting, very good fun route if your stuff is all out near the climb, do it! http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=26322 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - This is one of the few actual 10's at shelf. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=67396 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 3 - Fun Route http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=61749 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - This is an endurance climb, that keeps getting harder all the way to the anchors. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=44493 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 5 - It has been a few years, but I remember a varied excellent route, with a fair bit of OW (not the crux). We took several big pieces and used them. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=10722 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - Very good in the early AM, sun is there. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=59985 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 3 - The beginning is a bit tough but the crux is high enough for a safe fall...I know by experience :-) http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=51370 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - If you can stem, this is a very fun, easy climb! SHORT, but sporty, maybe not the best for a new leader. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=44934 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 5 - I love this climb! http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=61747 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - Nice good rock and well protected. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=65934 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - Give this a go, totally worth the effort, FUN! http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=26116 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 3 - the first three clips had slab moves but then it got really vertical and weird.

Started at 0500, toped out with a ranger looking on, in the dusk. There are several places we got off route. Right after the first 5.11 crux, we wandered a bit too far left, and climbed a 5.10 dihedral, run out and a bit scary. At the top, there are several options. We chose one on the left-verticle, runout, dirty and brushy. All that said, most of the route was good, clean for black, challenging climbing. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=86441 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - This is a nice climb. the routefinding can be a little weird because all the chalk doesn't make it obvious where to go. The crux was a little bouldery but after that it was really fun jug hauling. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=18425 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - I remember this as being a little cruddy at the bottom, and better up high. http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/routes/review.cgi?ID=1177 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Rating: 4 - Very nice routes of equivalent grades near eachother.
