First ascended in 1999 by Christopher Dagel and Adam Gurtler. We used an almost all passive rack (3 cams only), many hexes and lots of nuts. This route was the culmination of a year of training and work and was climbed bottom up. Our first attempt failed when we ran out of daylight, while our second attempt saw us through to the crux, a heinous and dirty offwidth, which required aiding in slings above marginal pro and up an expanding flake (read:spooky).

This is the highest wall in the area. Our route was put up entirely on lead, no bolts installed and is definitely not for the faint of heart. Currently the main route, named Short Change II 5.9+ C2, was put up in early 1999 by myself and climbing partner Adam Gurtler.
