I was at Castle Rock the other day and found 5 routes at The Moat. The two 10s were recognizable as was the 12 on the right. In the middle of the wall were 2 11ish feeling routes, one of which was Resonance. Does any one know what the other is called or any other info? Is Resonance the black hangers (right route) or the silver hangers (left route)? I checked the new Chatt Steel but no dice.

Thanks!

The route in the middle of the wall with the silver hangars is called "Grapes on Acid...or something."  It is 5.11 with a tough finish.  Water runs down the route most of the year so it can be identified by the green lichen that grows on the start every year. The route is great and worth doing. If you need to brush it, then bring the brush like the rest of us. It is part of climbing. No clue why it is not in the guidebook.

Thanks Andrew! It's good to have a name to put in my diary.

You're right, it was great! And it was fairly clean when I got on it.
