Beta for Storm King

Does anybody have any beta for routes 5.6 or less on storm king peak?

Do you mean Storm Peak, .8 miles NW of Longs Peak? It's Class 2 from the Keyhole. I walked up it on a more direct line from the Boulder Field years ago, that was Class 2 as well. I don't know of any technical routes on it.

No, storm king in the grenadier range.

It's class 3 from the south.

The approach from Vallecito is a flat and easy thirteen miles and requires no 4WD shenanigans. 

North Face was pretty fair 5.7 for the most part but we took a really fun vertical headwall variation that I'd give a 5.10.

We walked off the Class 3 and it was casual. Trip report: http://aperfectweakness.com/2017/08/21/storm-king-north-face-direct/ .

Thanks!  As someone who has struggled with severe OCD and anxiety, I think what you are doing is great!

Thanks, man! We just recorded the first episode of the APW podcast. I'll put out a casting call on MP pretty soon here for anyone else who is interested in being interviewed to share how climbing helps them sustain mental wellness.
