Description Nice face route, fairly sustained. The crux is right at the top. You can clip the anchors of the crux holds if your tall, or its a couple more tough moves to gain the ledge.
Location To find this you have to do a short scramble up and left from the base of the mixed route to just beneath a pine tree.
Protection 6 bolts, webbing and rap ring anchor.
Rhoads at the 2nd bolt.

| I think this is the face route just left of Awesome Arete (which is not mixed). Mixed route is the 5.10 in the dihedral. |

| 11- to a nice technical crux. Would be nice to bring a saw to do a little tree trimming. Not sure my partner enjoyed the elevator ride through the pine tree as I fell :) |

| The anchor for this is a mess of old rope and a wire secured with clamps. I have a chain to put on and I will do so next time I'm here. |

| This climb is a little gem. The rock quality and the movement are really good. |

| Fun, easy 5.11 balance climbing until the last moves, a powerful layback with an interesting sequence.
Can we rename this "Rainday"? In honor of today and to make it easier to refer to ;)
I also put new chains on the anchor. |

| Quality route. I definitely think this is harder than Kingdom Come... or that route is soft but that's not true so this is definitely 12b. Great crux moves! |

| Maybe the best 12 at castle rock - fun technical boulder problem at the top. Thanks for replacing the manky anchor setup! Your welcome for packing out the old anchor setup left at the base of the climb :) |

| Thanks Chris, not sure why I left that there, I must have forgotten. Usually I pack out a bag of trash everytime I go.
This is a great climb, but I can't say I enjoy getting smacked in the face with the hardest moves right at the top, hence 3 out of 4 stars. |

| No worries, thanks again for replacing with chains. The old anchor setup looked rough!
It is worth bringing a trash bag when you climb at castle rock. Lots of beer cans and trash. |
