Ascents in Castle Rock

This route has been climbed many times before as a warm up route. All pro that is needed is a short sling and a medium sized nut. I, and a great amount of people that have climbed it before would grade it a 9 and best.

Seemed like not much holds or protection on the face. I ended up hugging the arette all the way up. Didn’t feel like a 16 but maybe it was harder if you stayed on the left.

Unprotected crux before the first placement at 5m. I would have Bouldered up to the left and set some gear to protect the start.

Really struggled on this one! Very fingery and balancing moves!

Pretty classy, great opportunity to lay back. Bomber pro the whole way. Very chilled

Only start was tricky, otherwise easy

Climb is very good. Great boulder section at the bottom and middle crack is good.

The start of this climb is awesome! Shame the climbing was so easy once you get to the arete

I struggled to find good pro at the start of this climb (crux).

Nice for the grade

Small nuts can be placed to protect the top

Did the direct start, feels a bit stiff for a 16
