Description
This is a good V2 located within the Buddha Cave area of Castlewood Canyon. Sit down start off a pocket and cobble. I felt getting off the ground was the crux. It is a fun warm-up for some of the other routes in the area.
Location
Follow the Lake Gulch trail from the east entrance of Castlewood Canyon. Once you cross the creek head to the right (east) for about 200 yards and look for a slab on your left hand side. There is a faint little trail heading directly up to the Buddha cave area. The left hand turn is probably 100 yards before the trail side boulder which is a very noticeable feature. If you find yourself bushwacking thru scrub oak welcome to Castlewood Canyon.
