Shades of Gray

This was a wonderful find on the Eldo obscure tour. It's really a series of variations on

The Bulge

, with four short, high-quality pitches. We shared belays with

The Bulge

the whole way -- where

The Bulge

goes right each pitch, this route goes left. We don't think we did the third pitch right -- the guidebook says to belay in a small, red, right-facing corner and to climb straight up from an "alcove." We could see a small alcove about 10 feet left of the second belay on The Bulge, but there didn't seem to be any corner. That's probably where you're supposed to belay. We diagonaled up and left from

The Bulge

belay, climbing over a bulge with decent pro at about 5.10. The rest of the route matches the guidebook description nicely. Go do it!
