Description

Five O'Clock Shadow climbs a panel of gray rock above the popular moderates,

Graybeard

and

Bearded Outlaw

.

It's possible to climb this in one long pitch, combined with

Bearded Outlaw

. Or, climb

Graybeard

or

Bearded Outlaw

, and belay on the ledge above their anchors at a 2 glue-in bolt anchor. From there, step left and on to the gray slab that makes up Five O'Clock Shadow.

Five O'Clock Shadow has positive holds, good texture, and a crux early on that involves some balance and finding the best holds.

You can stop at an anchor below the edge of the cliff for a lower or you can continue to the top of the cliff where you can belay from above and rappel from chains with rings.

You need a full 60 meter rope to lower or rappel. Watch your ends, and put knots in the ends.

Location

From the ledge above

Graybeard

and

Bearded Outlaw

, look up and left for glue-in bolts on a gray slab of great rock.

Protection

4 bolts with 2 anchor options: one on the top of the cliff for rappelling and one below the edge that is more suitable for toproping. You need a 60 meter rope for a lower or to rappel.
