Beautiful climbing on one of the best routes at CW...


Description 

In the middle of a west facing wall immediately south of the giant Vulture Walls roof.


Protection 

After a fun and bouldery start, this route gives way to steep crimping to the final little roof. A long time Castlewood local, Mike Lane compares it to Heavy Weather at Shelf Rd, only better. 8 bolts to the anchors.

Excellent addition. Pay Homage may be the best route of its grade at CWC. It is hard right off the deck gunning for a good pocket with a huge reach and very dicey feet. Subsequently, the route turns into micro-crimping unlike most CWC routes. Great line.
