Well each fall and spring most of the climbers from Lincoln head out to one of the Sport Climbing capitals of the U.S. and do exactly that CLIMB... Here are a few pictures from our escape....
Here I am Leading Raven (5.9+) Its a very classic route at Shelf and is bolted that way as well... Classic bolting style means that for the first couple clips they are spaced reasonable then as you get higher up the bolts get further and further apart. This makes it a little bit scarier and also can lead to some big falls onto your rope. It also means that the grade says its a lot easier than it really is.
Yes thats me... Hair chopped off and all!!!!
Just doing some Top Rope on Shelf Pride.
