Description Suggest change

From the top of Castle Rock, you will spy this spectacular, perfectly split boulder with a fantastic uniform hand crack running its length. In your excitement upon seeing it, you may actually soil yourself. After approaching, you may be disappointed to discover that the problem is very low-angle.

Run up the crack, then head around back for dessert; a short, grainy hand crack that goes at 5.8 for about two moves. With some effort, you can eke five or six moves out of it.

Probably better than Double Cross.

Location Suggest change

Visible below the West Side of Castle Rock Summit

You will definitely want a spotter on the devious backside crack
