parting shot

To find the North Face rappels: Look north toward the Rectory. You'll find chains nestled between two boulders, east of center on the higher side of the tower (see arrow in photo).

Don't forget to thank those who made and continue to make access to Castleton possible. There's a donation station at the camping area/parking lot. Please contribute.
