Hello all, Im headed out to the shelf here pretty soon, and i will be there for about 2.5 days, and i wanna hit some classics, so what are they in your opinion?? Im up for anything up to mid to high 12. All the way down to... whatever, as long as its good fun climbing!! I heard the gym arete is good... True?? let me know of some others. I have been there once and did a couple 11's on 2150 wall before heading home (it was on the way home). Thanks a lot!

stephen,

Here are a few, most I have climbed, a couple first hand recomendations.

Freeform 12a
lats don't have feelings 11d
Blackmans burden 10b/c
the alignment 10c
three quarter ton 10c (heard it was good)
wadsworth boulevard 10b (some people may not agree, but I thought the bottom was very fun, top not so great)
Dihedrus 10b
silverado 11b
Spiney dan 10c
Suburbia 10b

list of 12's I have been told to climb
hot beach
heavy weather
gym arete
paleolythic tool tradition (tool boy)

there is a list of some of my favorites and some that have been highly recomended. I would spend most of my time during the winter at cactus cliff, great climbing and in the sun most of the day.

have fun, pm me when you go, maybe I will be there.

chad

Try the Mural Wall (Good PM sun) on Mural Wall. Lats Have Feelings Too and The French Are Coming on Cactus Cliff are great. Anything at the Bank is good with best fun in the sun is to be had at the 2150 Wall, Back to the Future Wall, and Surreal Estate Wall. Great beta and info at: http://www.climbingboulder.com/rock/db/shelf_road/
