Description

One of the better 5.8's in the SB's! Great features throughout this route and plenty of pro along the way. A great warm-up to the harder moderates on the crag. 3-stars for sure!

Location

This route starts on the left side of the south face of Castle Rock, on the western side (left) of an obvious detached block of rock (The Turret...duh!). Climb up to the obvious crack and follow it up and right to a set of anchors (wired shuts) on an overhanging block. Lower off (80')
