The North Face of Castleton Tower

View from the top. Snow covered mountains AND red rock canyons. What more can you want?

Sacred Ground's incredible crux pitch

To find the North Face rappels: Look north toward the Rectory. You'll find chains nestled between two boulders, east of center on the higher side of the tower (see arrow in photo).
