MapDescription
Shackleton is the first multi-pitch sport route at USAFA! The challenging climbing and views from the top make up for the hike to the route.
Pitch 1. The first pitch is 110 feet long, 5.10+. The route starts on a shelf about 10 feet off the ground. A bolt for the belayer to clip into is next to the first bolt of the route. The pitch is divided into two sections by a ledge, which offers a good place to rest.
Pitch 2. The second pitch is 80 feet long, 5.11-. Follow the face above the second ledge straight up, and enjoy the views at the top.
Location
Walk along the base of the Adventure Wall for approximately 1/8 of a mile until you reach GPS coordinates 38.99021, -104.91052.
