Description

Start on the west face of Castle Rock, about 15' left of Bailey's Overhang. Climb a beautiful left-curving dihedral with THIN crack/seam ... looks very Yosemite-esque. Starts out with lieback or hand jams up a steep crack and continues up the beautiful and slippery corner ... stem like crazy to the top, turn a small roof and cruise to the anchor.

Protection

Small cams (Aliens or TCUs) for the meat...hand-sized for the start. The anchor is a 2-bolt chain anchor...one of the bolts seemed pretty loose, so if you TR, I suggest backing it up with a #0.75 Camalot Jr. or equivalent in a nearby crack.
