The route overhangs briefly at the second bolt, and manages to be pretty pumpy for the grade.

Cruisin' Down Shady Lane

This one of the best at Devil's Head (in my opinion).

A bouldery start down low to clear the small roof leads to a pumpy clip then a stance. Follow a flake/rib on the right side of the arete for sustained laybacking and compressing to the top.

Good balance and body position moves down low give way to small feet and an ultra sharp jug up high. It gets 3 star below and 1 star at the top.

At the far end of the Shady Lane on the right (north) side lies a nice bolted arete. Climb on mostly good stone up past a few delicate arete moves to reach a small ledge. From here, fire up through a flake system to reach a short slab that guards the chains.

This climbs the meat of the wall on the north side (right side) of the lane. Start up beautiful rock trending generally up and left on crimps to make some very interesting big reaches. About 2/3rd of the way up, a ledge is gained which will place you very close to some the upper section of "

The Real Slim Shady

". From a rest here, head right through a small bulge on yet another large reach. Overall, this is sustained, interesting, and fun! It is one of the better lines in this area.

The right side of the line is lined by the angling crack that the mixed line climbs. Using holds in the crack doesn't change the cruxes of this line, but it does detract from the sustained nature of this climb.

If this is your route or you know anything more about it, please chime in!

The crux is thin climbing near the top. It is a fun route with good rests till the end.

Scramble up a stacked pillar until you can move onto the face proper. A little zigging and zagging between good sidepulls and underclings takes to you to the bulge around 2/3 height. Clear the bulge, and hold on to the anchor.
