Punisher

Punisher climbs a milky white blunt, prow on the left end of the Heaven Wall. It is likely the best route at the North End and among the best "hard" routes at Shelf. Punisher and

Aggro Monk

begin with an easy but unprotected and exposed scramble up a hollow flake that likely discourages some folks (I think I'll add some bolts here some day...).

Those that brave the approach are rewarded with the kind of heroic pocket pulling that we all dream of. Without giving too much away...the powerful crux (pulling the roof) involves a desperate sequence with a mono, 3-finger, then three 2-fingers in-a-row...all sinkers. The hero pockets vanish as the angle relents, keeping the climbing continuous and the outcome in doubt. A final roof must be surmounted with long committing dynos, but the hold are ginormous. The rock is a good as it gets for Shelf (surprisingly good, considering some of the nearby choss).

Punisher was given 13a and probably never received enough traffic for a true consensus. I propose 13b here, given the difficulty of the roof boulder, followed by the sustained headwall. If anyone else has done this, please share your thoughts.

It is on the left end of the 30 foot wide horizontal roof that splits the Heaven Wall.

Poorly welded coldshuts that need to be replaced.
