| If you follow the beta photo for route 1 where it goes right towards the tree for an anchor, there is a pair of bolts on the top you can use for a top rope or anchor. |

| Did these routes 9 years ago and put in the toprope bolts. We called it the Catch and Release crag. Route 5 is Release. Catch is between 4 and 5 in the photo - 10a. Also there's another top rope around the corner to the right of Release -- look for a short steep thin crack/flake immediately right of an outside corner. A small arete 30 feet to the right of this one now has 2 new face climbs. Cast In Stone, 10+, 5 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor, and Dry Fly, 5.9, 2 bolts plus some gear to 2.5 inch. Shares the same anchor as Cast in Stone. If you want to just top-rope these routes, the anchor can be reached by some exposed third class shenanigans. |
