Description 

Up the hill from the south face of Castle is a low outcropping/boulder with an obvious arete and flake. Start low and battle your way past several desperate moves to a somewhat perilous finish at the lip.

Certainly one of the most classic lines on the Front Range with easy access and a compelling line. Should have been picked off years ago but Ty came up with the goods.

Location 

Look south uphill from the bridge below County Club. Hidden a bit by trees.


Protection 

A healthy number of pads and spotter.

Pretty impressive...that kid is way to strong for his own good. Good job..that thing looks hideous.
