The fun V0 in between the V8 & V5.


Description 

The boulder lies on the east end of Castle Rock across the river from the dirt road. Continue down the dirt pull off for Castle Rock then pull over shortly after the bridge. A boulder is sitting right on the water line across the river. Their are 3 problems, all good quality. The two best are a V5 that ascends the bulge on the opposite side of the boulder from the water, and a V8 directly to its right that ascends the blunt arete.


Protection 

A couple of pads or a single large pad, spotter optional

I believe the name is 'the citadel'

Three stars seems a bit much, but it's a fun boulder.

Does the v5 go straight out over the bulge? If so, it seemed hard, and a back breaker (there's a lumpy boulder in the fall area, making me back off without a spotter).

I couldn't get my butt off the ground on the v8. Feet are an issue at the beginning of both.

God save the boulderer who tries to tackle Citadel in the summer. Looks lowball but climbs really well. Worth a stop.

Fun line... soft for V8 but it's still a nice line.
