Description
Climbed Fall of 1976 per the Hill guide. Look for the longest crack splitting the face of the Castle. From the base of the face, you can see a piton about twenty feet up and right. Head for this pin and then stay in the right most crack.
Climb for about 120 feet to a nice stance at two good pins, about level with a small pine tree. Move about fifteen feet left to the crack with the pine tree and then climb to the top.
