Comments: The 5.7 lieback crack is alot of fun and shouldn't be missed. After doing the the standard route my partner led the left arching crack and it is a spectactular line. We both thought it felt hard for 5.10, but we're not very experienced crack climbers.

Comments: We forgot to bring the nut tool today, and I couldn't clean a #7 BD stopper from a horizontal crack on P2. It'll probably come out pretty easy with a tool. Fun climb.

Comments: Climbed this route today, and we couldn't clean a cam on the 5.7+ variation of the first pitch. It's an old school Wild Country Friend about a half inch in size. It walked itself deep into a crack and over-cammed, I spent a half hour trying to get it then lowered my partner who also spent a half hour trying to clean it. It's practically an antique and I doubt anyone would want to use it, but I'd appreciate it back. As for the climb, it's not bad, quite a bit of loose rock though, and I would... more >>

Comments: I couldn't clean a #5 BD stopper from the first pitch, a storm was approaching and I didn't want to waste any time, so it'll probably come out with minimal effort. Great climb the p2 lead is exciting for 5.5, I thought it felt a little tougher than Calypso.

Comments: The tunnel on pitch 2 is a lot of fun. We ran out a 60 meter for two pitches and were just 20 ft short of the summit. We did an easy downclimb from the notch just north of the summit the hardest part was getting into the notch. Good climb too short though.

Comments: I was up climbing at The Castle last week, and I told the lady at the front desk we came to climb and she didn't charge us. She just didn't mention anything about a fee, and I didn't bring it up.

Comments: Climbed this route today and the crack pitch is a lot of fun, it makes the grungy first pitch worth it. I rappelled 50 ft west from a small boulder that seemed a little sketchy. The boulder is on the ledge directly behind the summit block and it has some old purple slings with two old oval biners on it. I backed it up with a new sling and two new rap rings. I don't know if this is the rap station in the description, but it held for us.
