Ga-stoned Again offers an engaging sport climbing experience carved into the striking volcanic cliffs of Colorado’s Shelf Road. Starting roughly 100 yards to the right of Urban Fringe, the route launches from an obtuse corner defined by a serrated crack that beckons climbers upward. The rock is a mosaic of textures—black slabs to the right contrast with sharp edges and clean lines that demand precise footwork. As you ascend, the climb unfolds with a mix of stemming, face moves, and secure jams, each element testing your technique and focus. The exposure adds a thrilling edge without overwhelming, revealing broad views of the surrounding canyon that ripple with dry, sun-warmed air. Near the top, the crux presents itself as a layback move just before the final bolt, a move that rewards body tension and steady nerves. With excellent protection—11 bolts leading smoothly to a solid 2-bolt anchor—this route balances excitement and safety, making it a perfect challenge for moderately experienced climbers aiming to push their 5.9 skills. Given the nearly flawless rock quality and the sustained nature of the climb, it’s quickly gaining favor as one of Shelf’s standout routes. Climbing here means preparing for a moderately steep approach, bringing shoes that handle a variety of textures, and strategizing gear for confident clipping. Timing your ascent for cooler parts of the day can also elevate your enjoyment, as the sun shifts shadows to keep the wall grippy and the heat in check. Whether you’re hunting a crisp, single-pitch sport route or looking to sharpen your crack and layback technique with reliable bolts, Ga-stoned Again delivers a clear, exhilarating line with no wasted moves.
