Description 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 Road, only better.
Location This is in the middle of a west-facing wall immediately south of the giant Vulture Walls roof.
Protection 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. |

| This route is such an elegant line, a gem in Castlewood. I am looking for some shameful beta on the start. Do most people deadpoint the good hole from the slick cobble or use the horrible crimp above the cobble to get your feet up? I ask since I have linked everything else on this route except for the bottom and this will be a proud redpoint for me. Shameful request? Yes! |

| David, I used the horrible sidepull/crimp for my left hand and the slick cobble for my right. There is a good right foot and then a toss gets it done. Good luck! |
