Description Suggest change

Originally rated 5.10b.  I casually jumped on the route thinking a moderate 5.10 linkup might be a fun variation on Castor.   Sitting at the top of the pitch I was thinking how stiff it felt for 5.10.  As my partner was climbing, Ian (who formerly guided for Tom Cecil) walked past the base and said, "That route is both Sandbagged and Spooky!"   His comments sum it up.  Place good gear in Castor before embarking on the crux traverse. Once you arrive at Terra Firma the hard part is done, and you get welcome pro!

Location Suggest change

From the old Bill Webster guidebook, "Climb Castor for 30 feet until you can angle up and left toward the large crack at the top of Terra Firma.  Finish on Terra Firma.  Not much new rock, but still an interesting route."
