Comments: I'm not sure if the boulder dudes are serious or not. Creeping on their photos for a while only produced pictures of climbing in far away areas (Indian Creek is 7? hours from boulder) and the greasy traverse in boulder notorious for getting smeared with poo poo from time to time. If that's what you're referring to as 'way, way better'...

On the positive side... I stumbled upon this park with my friend about 6 or 7 years ago and it seemed quite nice. It was very peaceful.

Comments: I'm short (5'2") and I can't reach the bolts from the ledge, so I always have to pull some extra moves at the top. Kind of annoying when your last bolt is pretty far below you. Other than that, it's a fine route.

Comments: The straight up finish is indeed tough, much harder than the roof at the bottom. I would say these moves are at least as difficult as the dynamic crux on Donkey Dong (though of a totally different style). I think the natural line heads left at the last bolt, where one finishes with some fun 5.10- or so moves.

There is nothing R-rated about this route if you stick-clip, but if you don't, a fall at the crux roof is really going to suck. If you have a stick clip (or are willing to TR), and are in... more >>

Comments: the bay area rocks! all you haters - stay in boulder with all the other snobby lizard people.

Castle has some great problems!

Comments: Dude...That Sloping crimper is such a pile. I suggest tape and a cold day to do this problem. Feet are VERY small little chips. If you can hold yourself on the wall long enough you might be able to make a quick move to lip. I believe the eliminate goes at V6. Not a fun problem, but that is probably cause I can't do it.

Comments: I love this thing! Ever since I figured out how to do it, I do it every time I go to Castle Rock. Wouldn't call it V5 though.

Comments: I though I remember supertopo calling this thing V4? It always seemed much easier than that, V2 or 3 seems more consistent with castle rock standards anyway... good fun.

Comments: Not sure that I'd call this "R" rated. It does top out high from the ground, but you're never too high from something to land on (other large boulders and slabs). The crux is down low and protects with two pads safely. Climbing up the face is easy after completing the crux and once you hit the jug at the top of the route you're home free.

Comments: WAY easier than "The Falls". Really fun though, great route to work on some slab skills.

Finger size cams are useful for the cool dihedral start.

Comments: Yeah, the start seemed tough for the grade, and likely gets exponentially tougher if you are shorter. At my (average) height, a committing deadpoint solved the crux. I'm not so sure it's in the V3-V4 range, more like V2 at most. The rest of the route is easier but always hard enough to make the 20 foot runouts really spooky! A calm 5.10 leader shouldn't have too much difficulty with the upper section.

R-rated lead if you don't stick clip, probably more like PG-13 if you use one.
