Description
This route ascends the cleft between the two big chunks of the Castle itself. Look for a big chimney feature in a right-facing flake feature directly below some blocky roofs. All pitches are between 100' & 140'.
P1, 5.8. Chimney your way up miscellaneous stuff for about 125' to a ledge.
P2, 5.9-. Follow the main corner/cracks up and slightly leftwards to a belay ledge.
P3. Head up & right across the main chimney system to more a more appealing looking crack. Continue up to a roof which is passed on the right side (crux) and then up to a belay.
P4. Head left towards a right-facing corner and then up a crack system to the final slabs.
