The roof on the Shin Smasher...

The roof on the Shin Smasher (5.9) felt easier than the grade suggested (Nov. 12, 2005).

Appropriately Named

Earliery this summer I took a fall from just above the 3rd bolt. It had been a long day of climbing the feathers and this would be one of our last routes. The fall swung my shin right into the bolt above the roof. My shin was beaten up pretty bad. Fun route though. Just has one painful section if you screw up.

re: Appropriately Named

Thats where your good belayer gives you some slack so you avoid collisions like that. The route doesn't have to be "shin smasher"
