May 4, 2025 S Platte > Buffalo Creek > Castle > Castle (Proper) Castle Corner aka Unnamed 5.10 5.10- ● What a great route. Great movement on P1, P2 is stellar, and P3 has the right and left choice down low and… View Comment
Apr 21, 2025 S Platte > Deckers > Java Dome > S Face Vertical Beach Party 5.9 R ● This is a really runout route even with a whopping 4 bolts. More consistent climbing than its neighbor. View Comment
