Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description This is your typical Castlewood Canyon route. Pull on cobbles, incuts, and small pebbles up the arete. This arete lies on the north end of the Project X Wall, about 20 yards past where the giant boulder ceases to follow the wall. Tip: look for the incut for your left foot above the first bolt.
Protection 3 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. TR setup might be a bit dicey.

| Whoops. Forgot to this in the last comment. There's actually 3 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor (just in case you were planning to hike all the way to Project X wall with only two draws to do this route only ;-) |

| There is not really one distinct crux IMO on this route--it is pretty consistent throughout so take care in clipping the first bolt. Like Myke said, very typical CWC route: short, steep, pockets, cobbles, balance, fun. |
