Ascents in Castle Rock Areas

First real multi session project with all the ups and downs then gratifying up

I was able to use 3 no-hands rests--bat hang, knee-bar, and just plain standing up squeeze in a groove, all before going around the face to the dyno finish. The hardest move was no more than a V5.

Start on jugs (loose). Reach right for a low crimp on arete. Slap your way up the right of the arete, to the shallow pocket, and the slopey topout.

SDS (Sit-Down-Start) on a good right hueco and a low left crimp, then up to more slopey huecos, to the big hole on the lip.

hard but good

finally!

First CR problem

SDS on the crack to the center pocket and reach up for the good crimp on the lip. Slopey edges for the left and right, and your right knee makes the top out easier.
