Shockley's Ceiling

5.6+ G

Chill climbing with an alpine 1st pitch, and classic Gunks climbing, with one hard move. So, no …not sustained.

P1

Sling the flake. Be alpine. Build an anchor using cracks at the bottom of the ledge you are on and a slung boulder.

P2

Meh… but kinda exposed. Belay in the corner across from the ceiling for the photo op. Belay takes 1 inch and under.

P3

Clip shit pitons, place the gold C4 at the roof, and reserve the blue boat anchor for the top. Don’t forget to protect your second. Make it classy by laybacking the ceiling, or alpine knee right like a Gumby.
