About

Shag Now is a 50-foot sport climb located in Telluride, Colorado, at an elevation of 10,860 feet. The route is graded 5.8 and consists of a single pitch. Climbers ascend past three bolts to reach a two-bolt anchor. The climb utilizes quickdraws for protection and is situated immediately to the right of the route 'Miss Earth.' First ascenders were Damon Johnston and Charlie Fowler. Parking is available on-site, and the site is pet-friendly. Access is year-round, though summer is the primary season for climbing in the Telluride area as snow melts from the San Juan Mountains.
