NOTHING'S SHOCKING, 5.9
We've been climbing Nothing's Shocking for a few years but just got around to bolting it in September of 2000. Ken was kind enough to give me a belay so that I could try the three new bolts that protect this short but fun 5.9 (left & centre). He jumped on the climb (right) while Kjell belayed & I snapped a few shots... SHOCK TREATMENT, 5.10A/B
Shock Treatment, 5.10a/b, weaves a cunning line past four bolts through a maze of jugs that appear at just the right time. Be ready for a fair bit of traversing back and forth.
The Nothing's Shocking crag is typical of Salt Spring Bluffs climbing: short, entertaining climbs in a pristine setting. This photo is of Sam Ellison, the first ascentionist, pulling the crux of Shock Treatment with the usual appreciative crowd relaxing on the bluffs.
