Looking down from atop P1. We belayed before the traverse, but it might be better to belay just after it. Better stance, better gear, and easier climbing for transition.
The Castle taken from the air, ca 1983. The Parapet is casting the shadow at the center, and Castle Corner is the prominent dihedral to its left.

Keith leading the second pitch on the FA, 1984.
This is the Throne Room route. 80' rappel into the gully on the left, 165' rappel towards the base.
This is the Parapet Tower. You can theoretically combine an ascent of this with the "Summit Route", 5.8, to get to the top of The Castle.
Looking down from atop P2. The bushes detract some from this otherwise perfect pitch.
Luke heading up the stellar, and continuous, P2. Can it get any better than this?
Just past the 1st traverse on the start of P2. I think this would be a better choice for the P1 belay.
