Shelf Road – Day Trip

Shelf Road Vista

I drove down to Co Springs to meet Tracy for some Shelf Road climbing fun. We arrived at Shelf around 10:30am…and met up with Tony who climbed with us all day.

We climbed until the sun went down. The weather was fantastic-tank tops in the sun. We left the crag around 7:30pm and had dinner at Chili’s in Canon City. The service there was pretty slow as it is crowded. The salad greens looked a little wilted, so I was happy I had ordered taco’s.

I climbed the following routes:
At The Gym:
Trailer Park Logic 5.10- * (Lead 2/3 of it), then TR

At Spiney Ridge:
Damn Right I’ve Got the Moves 5.9-*** L
Stone of Ignorance 5.9 ** L
Tractatus 5.11-*** TR
Blackman’s Burden 5.10c TR

Great day of climbing, was happy to be out with Tony & Tracy.
