Ascents in Shady Alley

Quite a crappy route. Nails start to poor carrot bolt placements which are too spaced

4 laps for some mileage.

Dangerous start - high bolt, run out on an arete/overhang. Second bolt is also run out into leg breaking land. Otherwise a great climb

Wicked climb with balancy clips, make sure you setup in the right spot. Good top station. Very rewarding

Second time to clean.

First lead climb. Easy and great to learn.

Epic bouldery dynamic to begin, make sure you have protection below in case of a fall.

Cleaner attempt with rope protection for more powerful bottom section.

Excellent to learn how to lead

Probably didn’t need bolts

Bolts a bit far apart for my comfort level. Start is fun and bouldery

Good spot to teach and relay information to someone who wants to learn anchor building and cleaning.

The only things free!

Setting up Top Rope for the masses 1

Cleaning

Set up top rope for group of first time climbers (usual spot was taken). The kids enjoyed the climb and it had some great holds along the way for them to use without searching to hard for it.

Bare foot

Novelty climb to finish the day

Bouldery down low, agricultural up top

Pleasant route. First time rethreading and cleaning. Perfect for teaching newcomers
