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).

Castleton (and realtives) from Onion Creek rd.

Kimmmmyyyy J. and I had to snip the old chain out cus it just wasn't right... 1/2 inch bolts worth 10,000 pounds down to a $1.29 coldshut rated to 900 pds when brand new (years ago). The only way to upgrade the system to at least two rings worth a lot more than that was to remove the old and start over again. Hopefully the new stuff will last a very long time.
A storm rolled through the valley. The weather in the desert can change quickly, be aware!
