Gorgeous line bolted by Anthony Meeks and was later opened by Jimmy Webb.A horizontal roof crux leads to a good rest. From here you have two more 5.13 cruxes separated by great rests. Hold on all the way to the anchor. Yet another steep and classic southern sandstone climb on white rock. Classic Tennessee style and a must do climb. This route is graded 5.13c. Lucid Dream (not dreaming)

Filet Mignon

Coming soon. Haven't been on this yet but this route gets rave reviews by locals, several of whom have said in confidence that it's more like 13c despite the guidebook-assigned grade of 13b.

Fun boulder with great movement leads to more of the great Shaman white rock - and it all stays dry! Mild boulders and good rests so no punting if you make it through the crux getting to the fourth bolt. I think comparable in difficulty to Rock Star or Filet. 

Blocky climbing with kneebars, drop-knees, and big moves. Distinct crux in corner system down low, followed by sustained climbing and a redpoint crux up high. Often wet at the top.

Shaman Cave is an impressively hulking buttress of steep, stacked overhangs that builds height from left to right. Home to some of Denny Cove's hardest and steepest lines (5.12+-5.14), a technical combo of thuggy roof tugging, heel hooking, and mystical knee bars will help your vision quest to the top. A little orange rock yields to that beautiful blocky and bullet tan and white stone. So take the medicine they offer and let the Shaman of Sandstone guide you to the top. A few of the routes are quite popular, so don't bogart; pass it around to share burns and good vibes. Always double-check fixed hardware, like fixed draws and 'biners, and replace or tighten parts as needed. Located between Between Ladies Delight wall and the Pig buttress, this is the obvious mega-cave.
